HELPING HANDS MINISTRY

HELPING HANDS is a volunteer group of men and women of St. Paul Church who have banded together in ministry to assist Church members who are elderly, disabled, or have special needs seeking aide.  Services include minor repair and maintenance of homes and transportation for those unable to drive.

  • Typical types of projects:

  • Minor Painting

  • Repairing window screens

  • Repairing doors, installing door hardware

  • Tightening or replacing toilet seats

  • Moving furniture within a house

  • Replacing weather stripping

  • Replacing light bulbs, switches and duplex receptacles (no wiring modification)

  • Repairing/replacing a mailbox and post

  • Minor sheetrock work repairing holes, dents, etc.

  • Yard work*

  • Transportation for doctor appointments and Church services/functions

Work requests will be made through the Church office and will be transmitted to a Helping Hands (HH) group leader.  The HH leader will visit the site to determine the scope of work, decide if the HH can complete the request, and secure volunteers to take on the project.

 Persons requesting work will be asked to pay for the cost of materials but not labor.  If material cost exceeds their available funds, Church funds may be used.

 *Yard work will be limited to cleanup, trimming plants and getting the yard to a point where the owner can maintain the yard.

 Projects that require a building permit or the services of a licensed professional will not be undertaken unless the homeowner or a licensed contractor will assume responsibility.
