A couple of years ago Amy Breedlove, the mother of the four mentioned, saw a ministry type program on Facebook called Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS).

It is a non-profit organization where the young citizens of a town or city can give back to the community. Those that they give back to include veterans, the elderly, the disabled and even single mothers. The kids and teenagers get the chance to offer services such as mowing lawns, shoveling snow, raking leaves and more, free of charge. The youth that work with RMLCS can expect to experience a great sense of achievement while also developing their social skills and lawn care experience.
