If you’re handy or computer savvy, consider volunteering with St. Louis NORC, a non-sectarian neighborhood program whose mission is to help older adults remain living at home. The program is in need of handy volunteers to assist with minor plumbing, electrical and handyman home repairs.  

If you can change a faucet washer, replace a furnace filter, program a remote control or organize closets, St. Louis NORC can use your services. Ditto training older adults to use a computer as well as troubleshooting computer software or hardware problems.

You determine your own schedule; even an hour a month is welcome. If you can help, contact Roberta Gartenberg at 314-442-3808 or [email protected].  

Submit news releases, calendar items and photos of recent events to the Jewish Light at [email protected]. The deadline for news releases and calendar items to be considered for inclusion is 4 p.m. the Friday before the publication.
