- Home safety visits
- Minor home repairs (eg. Sometimes someone most needs a caring interaction or connection to others!
- Caregiver relief
- And so much more! Flexibility is our middle name! Volunteers do what they can, when they can. Only here in the summer? No problem! Want to call us when you have spare time, vs. have a regular schedule of volunteering? That's fine! Are you better at outreach, marketing, fundraising, vs. direct assistance? We need you too! Help us provide that little bit of help that so many people in our community need to stay connected to essential care and daily needs (such as medical appointments and grocery shopping), AND the joy of one-on-one interaction, conversation and caring that we all need! Call (928) 445-2480 to learn more about volunteer opportunities!
