Since we believe that compassion at its finest should be free. Volunteers who register with our organization will offer their services based on their true desire to help elders. We will strive to safely and conveniently connect these dedicated, passionate volunteers with Seniors in their local communities.Our carefully selected and passion driven volunteers will help our Seniors with outdoor chores, like raking, window washing, gardening, and other activities they are unable to do themselves.

As a result, direct face-to-face outreach to these individuals and others has been drastically curtailed during the pandemic. But physical distancing doesn’t have to lead to social isolation. But being socially isolated from others poses its own mental and physical health hazards, such as depression, severe loneliness and even increased risk of stroke, dementia, or death.
