where
there is HELP...
...there is HOPE
The Golden Years can
sometimes be tarnished with the challenges of maintaining a home and striving to
continue an independent lifestyle. Everyday tasks such as raking the yard or
washing windows, can seem
overwhelming at times.
Fergus Chore Corps was
established to meet those challenges by connecting caring individuals who can
provide chore services and help our area seniors continue to live in their own
homes.
Fergus Chore Corps is
committed to the delivery of quality services that provide physical, social, or
personal value and maximize functional independence and socialization. Services
will be available free of charge, however, donations are appreciated in support
of our mission.
