With 1 hour each week (or every week), you can make a senior adult very happy by maintaining their lawn and/or garden. Many older adults who still live in their own homes are unable to care for their lawns or gardens the way they used to. In addition, paying someone to mow their lawn or tend to their garden can cause a financial strain for senior citizens with a low and fixed income.
Your assistance, while simple, can truly make their day.
Volunteers must complete an application with 3 references.
Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a consent form.

Description
Neighbor to Neighbor Network (NTNN) serves as the Volunteer Arm of Bloomfield's Division of Human Services. NTNN collaborates with community groups, faith-based organizations, local citizens, and businesses to provide volunteer services to Bloomfield and Glen Ridge resdents in need. We recruit volunteers willing to share their time and compassion and connect them with Bloomfield residents who need assistance, including homebound senior citizens and families with limited financial resources.
Based on each volunteer's interests and strengths, a variety of opportunities are available. Volunteer services include, but are not limited to, weekly visits through our Friendly Visitor Program, and Food Delivery from the Human Needs Food Pantry.
