Services Includes:

Help Around the Home: Housekeeping, light yard work, laundry, help with firewood, and bulk meal preparation are some of the things that we would be happy to help with!
Grocery Shopping & Delivery: Offers assistance with grocery shopping, either by delivering food directly to your door or accompanying you to the store so you can select your items.

Some Home Assist services are free of charge (medication pick-ups, transportation to appointments, and friendly visits with a volunteer). Other services have a set fee, and some are charged on an hourly basis. There is a sliding scale ($0-$35) for hourly fees based on income. No one will be turned away if they cannot pay. Any fees or money raised is fed back into the program to serve more people.
