What Neighborhood Falmouth Volunteers Do
Our volunteers make it possible for members to stay active, connected, and independent. Whether it’s a ride to a medical appointment, the grocery store, a concert, book club, or bridge game — we provide door-to-door, arm-in-arm support that brings joy and confidence to everyday life.
Volunteers also lend a helping hand at home — sharing friendly visits, doing light gardening, reading or walking together, taking out the trash, or helping with other simple neighborly tasks that mean so much.
Prefer to help behind the scenes? You can support our work by joining a Neighborhood Falmouth committee, assisting in the office, or helping plan special events.
Whatever your interests or skills, there’s a place for you here!
Helping Members Directly
We are flexible in the many ways we assist members and encourage requests of all kinds. Here are just a few examples of how our volunteers make a difference:

Provide rides to medical or personal appointments, the grocery store, or social and community events.
Errands
Shop for groceries or supplies, pick up dry cleaning, or ship packages.
Well-Being Activities
Accompany a member for a walk, stop by for a friendly visit, or make regular check-in calls.
Social Activities
Keep members company by chatting, playing cards, reading, doing puzzles, or meeting for lunch.
Food at Home
Shop for prepared foods or help connect members with local meal or grocery delivery services.
Technology Assistance
Help set up or troubleshoot devices such as computers, cell phones, tablets, wearable devices, remote controls, or thermostats.
Home Organization
Assist with organizing cabinets, closets, clothing, or other small household projects.
Home Monitoring

Light Home Maintenance
Assist with tasks such as changing smoke detector batteries, cleaning a refrigerator, or helping with window screens, AC units, or trash removal.
