Raising Men Lawn Care - Alabama
Bringing the world closer together is possible – we love this story from our neighbors near our Huntsville Data Center in Alabama.
Rodney S. never thought he’d be mowing lawns every day, let alone for free. After helping an elderly man with his lawn, Rodney posted to Facebook, offering complementary lawn care services to those in need.
That is how the nonprofit Raising Men Lawn Care was born. Rodney now mentors girls and boys across the country, teaching them the value of helping their communities – one lawn at a time.
Thank you, Henrico!

Meta’s grant supports the creation of an interactive business “storefront” at JA Finance Park that advances the program’s goals of personal financial planning and career exploration for 10th graders across the Greater Richmond Region. It will also help localize Meta’s presence here in Henrico County. Students can one day work for Meta without ever leaving the Richmond Region!
We are proud of our strong partnership with Junior Achievement, and pleased to support their mission of promoting financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship for local students.
