Chores & More Program

Turn your passion into action.

The Chores & More Program assists seniors with housekeeping, minor home repairs and seasonal chores. For some people, Chores & More is a solution to a temporary situation such as an illness, injury, or a recent hospital stay. For others, this program becomes an essential service to help people remain living safely and independently in their own homes.

The work is completed by screened  independent contractors (who have completed thorough background checks and interviews), as well as volunteers from local community schools, churches and organizations. For income-eligible clients, our Chores & More services are available on a  sliding fee scale rate (or suggested donation). If you or someone you know is interested in our services, please contact our Chores & More staff at (763) 783-4767.
