Snow Removal
Make the life of a local senior citizen a little easier by assisting with snow shoveling. We can match you with a senior in your neighborhood. This can be done alone or as a family. You’ll get the satisfaction of helping someone in addition to getting some great exercise!
Light Housekeeping Assistance
Assist an elderly Mequon woman with housekeeping (vacuuming, mopping, bathroom) twice a month. She has a cat and dog.
Visit a local senior citizen
Start Date: Any time
We’ll match you with a local senior to visit approx. once a week. The visits take place at a mutually agreed upon time and might include looking at photos, playing a game, doing a puzzle, going for a walk, or just enjoying each others company. We currently have a number of seniors in Grafton who would like a visitor.
Childcare
Play with and supervise children while their parents attend one of our workshops. Volunteers needed for a variety of weekday mornings and evenings.
