Volunteers needed for Elder Safety Program PDF Print E-mail

Rebuilding Together Valley of the Sun is looking for volunteers to help install fall safety devices to low-income seniors.

Rebuilding Together's Senior Fall Prevention Services will supply and install free fall prevention devices to lower-income homeowners who are elderly (over 65) and/or disabled across the Valley called Senior Fall Prevention Services. For those who don’t meet our income guidelines we will provide a fee for service. Individuals must own their home. Funds from this service will help off set the cost of our free services.

We are looking for volunteers to help install fall safety devices to low-income seniors on a regular basis….a minimum of two mornings a month and hopefully 4 mornings a month. They would go out with another volunteer on 1-2 homes per morning and should be done by Noon. We provide the training, the devices, mileage to and from the job and the liability insurance. We just need more volunteers to help provide our services.
