Camano Helping Hands


Make a Difference: Help Neighbors Stay Safe at Home!

Camano Helping Hands Volunteers play a vital role in supporting older adults and individuals with disabilities, helping them remain safe in their homes for as long as possible. We connect volunteers with pre-screened community members who need extra assistance with everyday tasks through partnerships with Camano Cares (Community Assistance Referral & Education Services), Northwest Regional Council, The Volunteer Center of Whatcom County CHORE Program (also serving Island County), and other trusted organizations.


Volunteer Responsibilities:

Volunteers can choose tasks that fit their interests, skills, and availability, including things like:

  • Light housekeeping (monthly cleaning, deep cleaning, or single-task projects like refrigerator clean-outs)
  • Taking out trash or recycling
  • Household laundry
  • Running errands and accompanying clients to personal care appointments
  • Light yard maintenance
  • Minor home repairs
  • Short-term pet care
  • Social visits for companionship
  • Assistance with non-financial paperwork
  • Helping with online tech and gadgets

Additional Information:

  • Background check required for all volunteers
  • Milage reimbursement

Your time and kindness can make a world of difference! Join our Camano Helping Hands Volunteers and help support our community--one task at a time.
