Painting Partnership With A Little Help
Posted on May 18, 2022
Our Boulder, Longmont, and Fort Collins teams worked together on Wednesday, April 27th, to volunteer time for a non-profit called A Little Help. In total, eight of our team members worked to clear gutters and window wells, weed and rake, lift heavy items and wash windows and siding for seniors still living independently but needing “a little help.” The seniors are on a fixed income or have physical issues prohibiting them from hiring help or doing it themselves. This non-profit is built on a neighbors helping neighbors model.
The mission behind A Little Help exists to “bridge the gap by connecting neighbors; the more of these connections we can make, the less government service will be needed to care for seniors. A Little Help can also partner with long-term care facilities to create realistic short- and long-term care plans for our members. “We’re striving for a balance of idealism and pragmatism; our model has a sound philosophical basis while saving money in practice. We’re able to increase safety and health for older adults by using resources that are already in each community – good neighbors.”
