“I never imagined that I would need so much help, let alone that there would be an organization like yours that could provide it without bankrupting me or putting me into debt. Bruce and his volunteers appeared as if by magic. They helped me begin to put my life back together after it had been completely turned upside down … From feeling utterly overwhelmed and defeated, I was able to move back in believing that a new life would be possible.
They came before us, and now, we’re here to help them however we can.
We are proud as part of our organization to sponsor our Senior Care Program that allows board members and community volunteers to assist elderly community members and others that may be in need with repairs and other updates to their residence. With the help of grant funding, MVPSF provides assistance to those who cannot otherwise perform certain household tasks because they have physical constraints or lack the financial resources to hire someone to do the work.
What we can do:
- Wash windows
- Change furnace filters
- Change light bulbs
- Replace smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors and/or batteries
- Remove trip hazards
- Clean areas affected by collective behavior
- Light cleaning, vacuuming
- Move furniture and household items
- Painting
- Yard maintenance: rake leaves, trim hedges, weed and brush control
- Flip a mattress
- Video and audio hookups
- Facilitation of carpet removal
- Install grab bars and other items for disabled
