    Fix-it! - Handy Work Volunteers

    Do a Home DIY for an elderly neighbor!

    Family Service Rochester is actively seeking volunteers and volunteer groups with the necessary skills and experience to help seniors and those with disabilities!

    Handy worker volunteers help make repairs and safety corrections to the homes of older adults and those with disabilities. Typical projects include:

    • Repair or replacement of broken items (doors, windows, light fixtures)
    • Accessibility improvements (hand railings, grab bars, ramps & decks)
    • Correction of safety hazards (repairs to porches, steps, sidewalks)
    • Habitability improvements (replacement of sinks, toilets, floor tiles)
    • Painting (interior and exterior)
    • Cleaning gutters
    • Washing windows
    • And more!

    You do not need to be able to do all of these types of projects. Your ability to do ANY of these tasks would be a huge help to a senior in your community. Check out current Open Requests here: https://familyservicerochester.galaxydigital.com/need/
