Chores

VINE is well qualified to assist adults age 65+ and people with documented physical disabilities with regular and seasonal chores, home repairs and home modifications. We are committed to helping older friends and neighbors maintain personal independence in their own home. VINE’s Chore Program not only helps secure a safe, healthy living environment for aging adults but also enables adult children and long-distance family caregivers to remain at work knowing that a trusted community organization is helping their loved one.

COST

Independent living at home is most often far less expensive than a permanent move to a facility. VINE’s chore services are very affordable. A member of VINE’s professional staff will visit with you to learn about your needs and discuss program costs. VINE accepts all major credit cards. We work closely with county public health and will accept payment from public funding sources including Medicaid and state waiver programs. All service qualifications from your payer source will be reviewed and maximized.

SERVICE PROJECTS

Each year we host hundreds of area youth and adults in volunteer service through Rake the Town and Spring Cleanup Days. Utilizing groups of volunteers from area businesses, civic groups, schools and congregations, we regularly organize service projects that are beneficial to both the givers and receivers. Contact VINE at (507) 387-1666 to discuss short-term and one-time service opportunities.

VOLUNTEER

Help with such things as changing lightbulbs and smoke detectors, washing windows, weeding, garden work, lawn mowing, snow removal and raking leaves.

VINE’s shoveling crew allowed me to care for my children while they recovered from their cancer treatments and surgery while not having to worry about shoveling the heavy snow outside.
