VOLUNTEER CHORE SERVICES ~ Spokane, Colville, Walla Walla, Wilbur
Volunteer Chore Services provides a wide range of household tasks and assistance that enable low-income elderly and disabled clients to remain in their own homes with dignity, safety, and a connection to their community. Assistance includes housework, laundry, transportation, shopping and various other independent living requests. Volunteers also participate in one-time projects such as moves and yard clean-ups.
