Our Services

Transportation.

We have volunteer drivers who can take seniors to medical appointments, and other essential activities. At the present time, due to a shortage of volunteers, we are only providing transportation for medical appointments.

Handy Helpers

Volunteers perform minor home repairs to help keep the house safe and livable. If you need help with small maintenance jobs, call our office and we will have one of our handy volunteers contact you to discuss your needs. There is no labor charge but you must pay for all required materials.

Friendly Callers

Volunteers make regular contact by phone with individuals, homebound or not, who enjoy friendly conversation.  If you would enjoy a phone call let us know and we will match you up with a friendly volunteer.
