Hope Association

About Hope Association

Summer in Rumford runs short and generous — the river sounds loud through town, the maples along the neighborhood streets fill in, and the grass comes on faster than anyone plans for. Hope Association is an organization with crews out in that stretch of the year, mowing lawns, trimming edges, clearing away what spring uncovers and what autumn drops. Their work leaves yards even and open, borders crisp, clippings gone. There is real pride in that: a property that looks tended says something to the whole street. From the first cut of the year to the last cleanup before the ground hardens, the work belongs to the town it happens in.
