Helping Hand Connection
Start a Helping Hands project, to perform tasks for those who need assistance. If you have a largegroup, identify someone to be the point person.
This could be an older person who is homebound, but can take the phone calls and track requests. This job could also rotate monthly, both spreading the work around and connecting more people to one another. Brainstorm to create a task list; what do people need help with, or have trouble doing?
What skills do people have? These tasks can be done on a volunteer basis, or for a fee.
