We are just Neighbors Helping Neighbors...

All our services are provided by volunteers.  They are not licensed professionals.  They are just caring people reaching out to their neighbors who might need a little extra help from time to time.  All volunteers are screened using background checks to ensure safety.
There is no charge for any of our services, however donations are always greatly appreciated and help us reach out to more people in need.

VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED
