Volunteer!

Who volunteers?
Volunteers of every age and experience are matched individually or through groups to provide assistance to help people remain independent in their homes. Our volunteers lead full lives and enjoy the chance to connect with someone and help out in a meaningful way. Volunteers are matched individually and choose the day, time and location to volunteer throughout Western Washington. Most volunteer one or two hours per week or month in their own neighborhood or near their work. Volunteers may help the same person each week, or assist a variety of people over time. Lasting friendships often form. Volunteers receive training, mileage reimbursement and insurance to assist them in their volunteer commitment. Families and couples can volunteer together. Students and retirees also serve as volunteers. Youth under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

What about group projects?
Volunteer Chore Services has a number of opportunities for groups of all sizes to provide services to eligible clients. Group projects are an excellent way to provide a one-time taste of volunteer service for a youth group, community group or corporate team. Groups contribute their skills in painting, home clean-up, minor home repair, moving or yard work. For more information or to sign up your group, contact us.
