Extra, Extra Read All About It

                                   

                      

 

Many of our members rely on the Outreach Program’s Home Help Registry for help with activities and chores around their homes.  However, due to the large amount of requests we get each week for things like snow shoveling and house cleaning we are not always able to provide a worker to complete your jobs.

If you or anybody you know would like to top up the old wallet or purse
by doing good deeds for your neighbors,
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
