Goals
• The main goal of this website is to raise
community awareness of the need for elderly
assistance in the community.
• There are so many elderly people in our
community that could use a hand at times and
often they don’t know who to contact or they
don’t have the extra money to pay someone to
assist them with small projects or odd jobs.
• We hope to use our site to post projects that may
need assistance from the community and also to
list other helpful community information. This
site could help people who don’t know where to
turn, get the help that they need.
