Odds & Ends - Helping Seniors Get Things Done

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

Everyone needs a hand (or 2) sometimes!

Seniors, especially those who don't have family nearby, can struggle to complete odds and ends around their home. Sometimes those odds and ends are significant needs, such as moving furniture or boxes, packing to move into a nursing facility, or discarding old items. Sometimes it's something smaller, such as organizing and de-cluttering.

If you are interested in being on an on-call list (but no obligation) as someone we can contact when a need arises, please join this group of volunteers!  If you have a friend, partner, or team you like to work with, please let us know. Many hands make light work!

An SRC employee will contact you via email when a senior requests assistance. You will be provided a description of the specific assistance required. If you are available and interested, you can respond to the specific request. If you decline that specific request, you could be contacted for future requests. Occasionally, there is need for a pick-up truck! Keep this in mind if you have access to one and may be able to fill a special need.

Note: if you volunteer for a project that involves entering a senior's home without a SRC staff member present, we will ask you to complete a simple criminal background check first.

For more information, contact Doug Wendel.

Volunteer applications can be submitted from our website at www.dgcoks.gov/src
