Rides
You can request transportation to medical appointments, physical therapy, exercise classes, shopping, hair appointments, and more on the Cape. Volunteers use their own cars when providing rides.
Social Visits
You may enjoy a visit from a volunteer. You can ask to be read to, to do puzzles or play cards, or just chat. A social visit can also include a walk or a drive to the beach. Our volunteers and members often get to know each other well and develop strong friendships.
Home Maintenance
Household tasks such as putting in or removing window air conditioners, putting out or taking in deck furniture, hanging pictures, changing lightbulbs and other simple jobs may be difficult for you to do. Fortunately, you can request help, as many of our volunteers are happy to complete tasks that do not involve major work.
Run an Errand
If you would rather not go to a grocery store or pharmacy, you can make a request for a volunteer to shop for you. Provide a list and method of payment for the volunteers and they will then shop for you and deliver your items to you.
Assistance with Electronic Devices
We all know the feeling of frustration when a mobile phone, printer, computer monitor, or television is not working as expected. Fortunately, many of our volunteers are willing to come to the rescue and fix the problem the electronic device presents.
