Throughout the year, H.O.M.E. always needs volunteers for seasonal and ongoing projects as well as one-time volunteer events.

	H.O.M.E. strongly believes in bridging the generations. We believe that we all have a great deal to offer each other. Our volunteer program is looking for people of all ages willing to share their various skills and talents. Many of the older adults we assist have a wealth of wisdom and experience to share with the larger community. Volunteers help us achieve our goals in a number of ways:

GROUP PROJECTS Weatherization Project - You can help low-income senior homeowners prepare their homes for the harsh winter months by sealing their windows. It's easy; no experience necessary - we provide the training. Seasonal Cleaning - Our intergenerational homes need thorough cleaning and we invite groups to help out with periodic cleanings throughout the year. INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES Friendly Visitor/Companion - one-on-one visiting with the elderly Transportation Assistant - help pick up items for seniors; assist by driving on outings Weekend Cooking at our Houses - cook one Sat. or Sun. per month for 10-15 residents at our intergenerational homes Help during the Holidays - help set up, prepare and serve holiday meals at our intergenerational homes Warehouse Volunteer - assist at our warehouse to organize the donations we accept and distribute Repair/Handy-person - help make repairs at our two intergenerational homes or fix donated items in warehouse Office Assistant - assist our office staff with mailings, answering phones, data entry Special Event Assistant - help our development department prepare for annual fundraising events Provide activities - help facilitate entertainment at our intergenerational houses: movies, cards, arts and crafts, classes, music, dance, etc. H.O.M.E. is also very interested in finding opportunities for our seniors to volunteer in community projects. If you are a school group or other another organization interested in receiving help from our seniors, please contact us.
