We are community volunteers – a network of men and women, young and old, ready to help in practical ways for people in times of need or struggle.
We will connect those who want to serve, with people who need support when dealing with illness, financial struggle, single parenting, a new baby, etc. Possibilities are helping with things like moving, home repair, yard work, domestic support (cleaning, shopping, laundry, meals), etc. We picture people coming out to serve individually, in small groups, with their family, etc. – whatever is right for the job.
Being part of the crew does not mean you will be committing to every project. We hope to have a long list of people who could occasionally help out, whenever it works in their lives. It’s helpful to know if you have specific interests, skills and/or tools to bring to use.
