Who We Are

Hearts & Hammers’ volunteers are committed to promoting our community by assisting residents in need with home repairs. Our mission is to develop and preserve affordable housing for limited income individuals and families and to strengthen the Willowick community. We believe by helping our neighbors we are not only answering a few prayers, we are helping to maintain property values for the community as a whole.

More and more families are placed in the position of choosing between vital necessities over essential home improvements. Help us help you by calling Hearts & Hammers with your needs to remain safe, warm and independent. We’re here to help you!

Leaf Pick Up

Crews will be making a second pass through the city for leaf pick up starting Monday, November 29th with Section 1. This will be the LAST pass through as the weather will soon be changing. The goal is to get thru Sections 1-5 the week of the 29th and Sections 6-8 the week of December 6th. These time frames are all weather dependent. Please check the city website or call City hall for the Community Announcement to check the status of your section. These will be updated daily. Any yard waste left after the crews have made the second pass will need to be placed in yard waste containers or craft bags to be picked up by Kimble through the last week of December. This will be the FINAL pass of the season.

Garbage Delay

Garbage pick up on Thursday, November 25 and Friday, November 26 will be delayed by one day due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving Holiday

All city offices will be closed on Thursday, November 25 and Friday, November 26 in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Residents to Receive NOPEC Natural Gas Enrollment Letters Soon

Eligible residents and small business owners in the City of Willowick will be receiving a natural gas enrollment letter for the City’s natural gas aggregation program through NOPEC.
