Hands On for Seniors is a program that matches seniors in need of home maintenance, who are physically or financially unable to perform these tasks, with community volunteers who can get the job done. The goal of the program is simple to help seniors who are trying to remain independent and self-sufficient in their homes for as long as possible. In 2014 – over 1,500 volunteer hours; 280 volunteers; 250 projects completed, 60 seniors lives touched.
