Ms. F lives in Des Moines, and is struggling to keep her home clean as she copes with liver failure. She used to be a house keeper so her home is very clean, but she also gets very tired cleaning it. She's a friendly woman needing some visits as well as help with errands, dusting, vacuuming.
Volunteer Services assists low-income older adults and persons living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.
Time and location are very flexible; you can volunteer in your own neighborhood at on days that work for you, at times and frequency that fit your schedule. You are provided with an orientation and ongoing staff support.
