<p>A Little Help is a non-profit that builds community by connecting older adults living independently in their homes with volunteers in their area to help with those tasks that become more difficult as we age. Studies have shown that those who live longer, healthier lives have close relationships with their neighbors and continually find new purpose as they age. Simple tasks by A Little Help volunteers such as rides to the doctor, completing an errand, care calls/friendly visits, weeding in the garden, handyman help, technology help to help connect with new devices or snow shoveling can make a big difference to our older adult neighbors. Sharing talents, resources and building intergenerational relationships allow older adults to age safely and thrive in their homes and builds up the community as a whole.</p>

We are a volunteer organization that connects volunteers with older adults age well and thrive in their homes. We provide an incredibly flexible volunteering model (no minimum hours on activities) and we would love to have you join to help older adults.
