ARK VALLEY HELPING HANDS OPPORTUNITIES

Our mission is to help seniors thrive in their homes with the help of local volunteers. We work with a team of volunteers to provide services around the home, transportation and social visits. Twice a year we do work days at our member’s homes. During this time we send a team of volunteers to each individual’s homes to get outside work done both in the spring and fall. We will also be hosting informational talks and socials throughout the year.

We ask members to pay $225 for a year’s membership, but no one will be turned away due to inability to pay. We are currently working on scholarship funds to offset fees for those who have trouble paying the membership dues.

Our 2019 goal is to bring this program to the Buena Vista community. 

To learn more please contact Sara Ward at 719-530-1198 or info.avhh@gmail.com.
