When you sign up with PeopleLink, you volunteer to do something you do well for someone else. In turn, another participant will offer his or her skills to help you with your need. The ages of those who participate range from the 20's into the 90's. The organization is committed to supporting the independence of older adults and those living with disabilities through the reciprocal exchange of neighborly service. It matches people's needs with people's abilities, allowing each person to do what he or she has time for and to do what each does best.
Persons can also donate their service credits to another individual who needs help.
PeopleLink is safe, free and flexible. People volunteer their time when they want to. They provide only the services they want to provide and only at locations that are convenient to them. Right now, the organization needs handymen and women. Through a grant from the Denver Regional Council of Governments Aging Service Division, PeopleLink is partnering with the Home Injury Division of Home Care Management to significantly increase the number of participants who can help with minor household repairs and maintenance.
