Rake Up Boise with Colliers in Idaho

As the season of gratitude arrives, Colliers is proud to once again take part in Rake Up Boise. This long-standing community tradition helps local seniors and neighbors with disabilities prepare their yards for winter. On November 14th, team members from Colliers in Idaho rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their rakes, and spent the day clearing leaves and debris to support those in need.

The Impact of Rake Up Boise

Rake Up Boise is more than just a one-day event. It serves as a powerful reminder of the difference that collective action can make. Each year, volunteers across the Treasure Valley come together to help hundreds of residents who cannot maintain their yards on their own. For Colliers, participating in this effort has become an annual tradition and an important part of our commitment to community service.

“Our team looks forward to Rake Up Boise every fall,” says Kyle Moeti. “It is a chance for us to connect with our neighbors, give back to the community we live and work in, and make a real impact ahead of the holidays.”

At Colliers, community involvement is one way we live out our values beyond the office. Whether supporting local nonprofits, volunteering as a team, or sponsoring events that strengthen Idaho’s communities, we believe in investing our time and energy to create positive change.
