Area 10 Agency on Aging’s annual Safe at Home Event, a half-day blitz to improve home safety for our older neighbors in Monroe and Owen counties, is needing volunteers for Saturday, 9/30 from 9 to noon (or less, depending on project). We have several projects that need volunteers. The types of work needed are listed below, all different projects.
We have a need for non-skilled and skilled volunteers at different Monroe County projects. Non-skilled individuals are needed for cleaning gutters, bush trimming, and pulling weeds (need knowledge of weed vs. plant). Skilled volunteers are needed for caulking around exterior windows (first story), resetting gate latch, grab bar installation, storm door installation, and replacing window putty on one story windows.
We need volunteers to sign up by Sept. 27th to match with a project and determine which homes we can do based on volunteers. This is a great chance to put in 2-3 hours to make a real positive impact on a senior neighbor!
