Do I need my own mower?

It helps, but it is not required everywhere. Some local groups share equipment. You can volunteer once or whenever you are available.

Is the lawn care really free?

Yes. It is volunteer-powered and always free for the neighbors we help. It is not guaranteed and depends on a volunteer being available nearby.
