Join us for our volunteer orientation and learn the ins and outs of companion care! We provide assistance with transportation to medical appointments, errands, and grocery shopping, and in-home assistance such as light housekeeping, home organization, and basic meal preparation to local seniors and adults with disabilities. Volunteers are typically matched with a client that they visit three hours each week. A car is required for this volunteer opportunity. Please note that all volunteers must meet with our volunteer coordinator and fill out a brief online application before attending orientation. Hope to see you there!

Mission Statement
We promote self-sufficiency, quality of life, and the highest level of independence for older adults and individuals with disabilities in the Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina area.
Description
A Helping Hand is unique in both structure and approach. Wholly independent and locally-founded, we are the only non-profit companion care provider in Durham, Orange and northern Chatham Counties.
Companion care provides friendship, socialization and transportation to seniors and adults with disabilities who would otherwise be isolated.
