It’s no surprise that older people have a harder time taking care of their homes. Whether it is weeding, clearing clutter, cleaning hard-to-reach areas, flipping a mattress, seniors often do not have the strength, energy or stability to handle these chores.
One Hard Thing, a project of the Golden Gate Village (GGV), matches able-bodied volunteers with Village members needing help with the difficult chores they cannot handle on their own.
On a sunny Saturday in October more than 42 community members gathered at the Richmond Senior Center (at Geary Boulevard and 26th Avenue) to volunteer their time to help more than 20 seniors and adults with disabilities living in The Richmond District.
