Hometown Help for Heroes
Fishers DPW provides the Hometown Help for Heroes initiative, which alleviates some of the practical burdens that families of a currently deployed head of household face, including driveway and sidewalk snow removal and lawn mowing and trimming services. This program is open to any family residing in Fishers with at least one head of household currently deployed in a branch of the armed forces.
