Welcome to Lend A Hand!

Lend A Hand Senior Assistance, Inc. is a growing coalition of central Tucson neighborhoods, faith-based communities, and business partnerships. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a member of the Neighbors Care Alliance (NCA), a program administered through Pima Council on Aging (PCOA). Click on “Coalition Members”, left.

Our volunteers provide ABSOLUTELY FREE services to our seniors to allow them to continue to “age in place” as our neighbors. “Our seniors” are those 55 years and older who live within the geographic boundaries of our collective neighborhoods. No senior is ever charged.

Our FREE services include transportation, errands, friendly visits, friendly phone calls, light yard work and light housekeeping. You do not need to reside in one of our neighborhoods to volunteer.

Junior League’s JLT C.A.R.E.S. (Creating Appropriate Residences for Every Senior) works with Lend A Hand to modify our seniors’ homes to improve safety, accessibility and energy efficiency. There is no charge to the senior.

Please join us and make a difference in a senior’s life. Call 248-6882 to learn more. For information about services and volunteer opportunities, call Michele Brubaker, the coordinator of Lend A Hand, at 248-6882.
