ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Services

Volunteer Cleaning Oven
Great shot of a volunteer showing off the recently cleaned oven in an elder's apartment!

Help a Des Moines senior vacuum her 2 bedroom apartment. At 80 years old, she is still working part time and has back problems. She can no longer vacuum without it hurting for hours afterwards. Help in your own neighborhood keep this senior live independently!

Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults 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.

Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check and attend an orientation.
