Providing assistance to help those in need remain independent and connected to their communities. Bringing greater purpose and meaning to life through giving and receiving.
Our Mission
To enable older adults, people with disabilities, and families to maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life by providing services to complement the care they receive or by providing support services to those without other arrangements.
What services do Volunteer Caregivers provide?
Our services can include--but aren't limited to--these examples. If the kind of help you're looking for isn't listed, call us--we can usually accommodate any reasonable request for assistance.
Friendly Visits
Share some time with a care receiver--conversation in person or by phone, going for walks, to the movies.
Time Away

Assistance at home
Light housekeeping, meal preparation, yard work, paying bills, snow shoveling.
Minor home repair
