The City of Caldwell is inviting residents, community organizations, businesses, families, student groups, and other volunteers to come together for the Annual Rake Up Caldwell Event on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., volunteers will help rake leaves and clean up yards for Caldwell residents who are unable to complete the work themselves. The annual event provides an opportunity for the community to come together, help neighbors in need, and take pride in the neighborhoods we all call home.

Volunteers will meet in the Caldwell City Hall parking lot located at 205 S. 6th Ave. at 9:00 a.m. before heading out to assist residents.

Participants are encouraged to wear warm clothing, bring gloves, rakes, and any other equipment they have available to help with the cleanup.

“Rake Up Caldwell has become an annual tradition that our community looks forward to each year,” said Mayor Eric Phillips. “It’s a great opportunity for people to come together, lend a helping hand to their neighbors, and make a difference in our community. I’m excited to be part of Rake Up Caldwell this year and look forward to joining everyone for another great event.”
