Services are provided by Chore's crew of 21 volunteer handypersons working as teams with paid drivers. There is no charge for Chore's services, but clients are expected to pay for the parts necessary to complete the repair. Request a Service Call Volunteer as a Chore Handyperson Chore is funded by the Bergen County Division of Senior Services, Community Development, client contributions and Volunteer Center fundraising activities.
Work is done by volunteer handymen who want to help others.
The Chore crew will determine if a particular project is beyond their expertise. Chore does not do outdoor work, painting, tiling, door or window replacements, work requiring high ladders, heavy lifting, new wiring or appliance repairs. Repairs for apartment dwellers are limited to personal items only. The wait for services ranges from 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on how busy Chore is. Each crew is assigned 4-5 service calls each weekday.
