The program offers emergency repairs throughout the year and sponsors a one-day event for repairs that can wait until June. The purpose of  the rehab program is to help seniors and adults with disabilities to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.

What repairs will be done?

Projects dealing with safety, health and accessibility issues are given priority. In the past we have installed  wheelchair ramps, replaced unsafe stairs and porches, fixed plumbing problems, repaired furnaces, painted houses inside and out and cleaned yards.

Who is eligible?

Homeowners must be at least 60 years of age or disabled and unable to do the repairs themselves. Recipients must meet income eligibility requirements.

How do I volunteer?
