The Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands program is looking for volunteers.
There is an urgent need for caregiver respite services that will help families maintain their older relatives at home where they want to be most of all.The Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands program is dedicated to easing the many burdens associated with being a caregiver of an older adult.
Willing Hearts, Helpful Hands connects caregivers with “Caregiver Circles”. These Caregiver Circles are comprised of trained volunteers who provide friendly visiting and chore services.
