Five families receive free mowing

Giving back is an annual tradition at KJK LawnCare. Each year, the company provides free lawn maintenance services from April to October to five families in the Omaha, Nebraska, area.

Much of this generosity stems from owner Josiah Cherry’s upbringing.

“My mom was always giving back when I was growing up,” he says. “She instilled that passion in me. So, I wanted to give homage to my mom and also to the community that’s helping me to develop my company.”

Cherry has worked in the landscaping industry for four to five years. He started KJK LawnCare about three years ago after getting some landscape industry experience at another company.

In Cherry’s first year as a business owner, he decided to pick five residential customers to receive six months of free lawn maintenance services as a way to give back and help people in need. He promoted the charity by word-of-mouth and sharing about it on social media.

Initially, he only selected families who had loved ones deployed in the military. He spent time in January during off-season selecting families who were in need.
