NeighborLink Indianapolis(NLI) provides home repairs and related services to low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities who own their home and live within Marion County. These repairs and services are free to the homeowner so they can continue to age in place safely and independently. We are able to provide repairs and services at no charge because we rely heavily on volunteers.
We are looking to add members to our Trailer Team. We need volunteers who own a truck and are able to pull a 12’ flatbed trailer behind it. Our Trailer Team members pick up the equipment/materials/supplies--like ladders, tools needed for scheduled group projects, deliver them to the worksite and then pick them back up once the project is done that day and return them to NLI storage. Other times, a trailer team member may be asked to drive the trailer to a worksite to load up branches or a heavy amount of trash and then haul it to a recycle center for unloading.
The work schedule is flexible. Projects are routinely scheduled a minimum of two weeks in advance.

Mission Statement
NeighborLink Indianapolis mission is to help older adults and individuals with disabilities who own their own homes age in place safely and with dignity. We do this by providing home repair at no cost to the homeowner.
Description
We focus on home repairs that enable the homeowner to age in place safely, stabilize the home for years to come, and provide an improved appearance for the neighborhood at large. Many of the repairs we provide would be able to be done by the homeowner if they had the means or physical ability. By using volunteers we are able to help the homeowner as well as provide that intimate experience of truly being the hands and able-body for someone else.
Most older adults want to age in the most affordable home-the one they own. Aging in place allows older adults some level of autonomy and dignity over their own health and decisions. It allows many to remain within communities they’ve been a part of for decades. Social determinants of health, particularly including the ability to keep their home safe and accommodating to their physical needs, are among some of the most challenging barriers to aging in place.
