"Who is a Helping Hand?"
A Helping Hand Volunteer can be any friendly, warm-hearted, patient, understanding individual. Anyone from 6 to 96 can contribute to a brighter day for our frail elderly guests. Students are always welcome.
No special talents are needed. Just talking, one on one is very therapeutic.

"Where is Project Independence?"
Project Independence is part of Elderly Services, Inc., located at 112 Exchange St. in Middlebury just past Greg's Market on the opposite side of the street.
Project Independence serves elders from all corners of Addison County.

"When would I volunteer?"
The Center is open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m.- 7 p.m., Saturday 7:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
A Helping Hand Volunteer can come in as frequently or occasionally as the individual wishes. Some volunteer weekly, others monthly, and others only occasionally.

"Would I enjoy volunteering?"
We believe volunteering should be fun! Our staff wants to know you and together decide how you can most enjoy yourself while also contributing to our elders' good day.
We serve meals to our volunteers, include you in celebrations, invite you to special events, and consider you part of our caring community.
