In honor of Volunteer Month, we shine a light on one of our dedicated volunteers: Tom Driscoll. A retired CFO from Bergen County, Tom discovered I Want to Mow Your Lawn Inc. through a local newspaper article. His story is one of inspiration, dedication, and making a difference in the lives of others.
