Give
Umbrella volunteers help low income seniors and people with disabilities year round in a variety of ways. If you are handy around the house or have professional experience in home repair we want to here from you. In addition, many Umbrella members need help with lawn and garden work, house cleaning, transportation to appointments and grocery shopping. No matter what you do, you’ll be helping someone in your community to remain independent and safe in their own home. To get started just click on the link below.

Make a Donation
Despite the low cost and effectiveness of our program, many seniors and persons with disabilities are unable to afford the membership fee, and sometimes, even the hourly rate for service. Because these individuals are often the most in need of help in their homes, Umbrella uses funds for subsidized memberships that are raised through the gifts and grants of concerned corporations, generous individuals in the community and socially conscious foundations. If you or your organization would like to make a donation, just click on the icon below. It’s easy!
