Community Solutions

Created and Managed by: Amy Smith and Ashley Anders

Goals• The main goal of this website is to raise

community awareness of the need for elderly assistance in the community.

• There are so many elderly people in our community that could use a hand at times and often they don’t know who to contact or they don’t have the extra money to pay someone to assist them with small projects or odd jobs.

• We hope to use our site to post projects that may need assistance from the community and also to list other helpful community information. This site could help people who don’t know where to turn, get the help that they need.
