Overview

Pairing elderly people who need help with various jobs with young volunteers who can assist.

Post flyers at elderly centers and local churches and set up a website and phone number where elderly people can register they're need and contact information.

Post flyer at schools, churchs and groups such as local boy scouts, Ymca,  and maybe even troubled youth who need to perfom community service. 

Help with jobs such as

Lawn mowing,
gardening
laundry
painting
cleaning
snow shoveling,
etc...



How will the 5K be Used?

Budget Notes: No one would be paid for their services. Any leftover items not used would be donated to a local charity.
$ 5,000 Shovels, rakes, lawnseed, paint, various other items for odd jobs.
