Our Programs
About Us
When you have mobility/health challenges and no one to help – washing dishes, sweeping the floor, doing the laundry, or accessing food (basic activities that most of us are able to do without thinking) – these are a source of stress, anxiety, physical pain and even debilitation for many who are unable to physically perform them.
These are our clients.
All programs (described below) are at no cost to our clients.
Energetic Hands
Energetic Hands
A cleaning-support program for people aged 19-64 who are unable to perform basic household tasks for themselves:
- mobility challenges
- low income
- minimal community support
It is more than cleaning – it is providing connection for people who are alone. Volunteers clean for clients on an ongoing basis once or twice a month. If you are interested in this program, please click on Client Application below and fill out our form. Once received, a Field Coordinator will contact you to arrange a Home Assessment.
