A Little Help is a nonprofit organization that connects neighbors across ages to enhance lives and strengthen our communities. To that end, A Little Help is helping older adults to age well in their homes by connecting them to an important resource plentiful in every community, good neighbors. Many tasks around the house and yard chip away at independence, but with A Little Help, good neighbors can help elders with transportation, yard work, handiwork, home organization, and social engagement, empowering seniors to thrive in the communities they have put down roots in for decades. We create opportunities for our seniors to share reciprocally their stories and skills in the community. For example, as Service Saturday! volunteers are working hard to clear flower beds and cut down vines, our members are quick to impart their own wisdom and experience to share gardening tips with young adults and new homeowners. |
Our elders have made the choice of staying at home, with a little help from their friends and neighbors, rather than moving to a retirement community (with a lot of help). Studies show that living in the comfort of our own homes is the best, and most cost-effective, choice of most people.

What brings you to Death Cafe?
We all have experiences, questions, beliefs, and concerns about death. Join other A Little Help members, volunteers, and other community members for participant-generated conversations about death and dying. No teaching, lecturing, proselytizing - just respectful and open conversation with folks who want to talk about death.
What would you like your legacy to be?
Someone you know and love may be a beneficiary of the wonderful services of A Little Help. As a charitable organization, A Little Help sustains and thrives largely through the generosity of people like you. For that, we are truly grateful.
More than 80% of Americans contribute to a nonprofit at some time during their lifetimes. But according to research conducted in 2000, only around eight percent of people choose to continue this support through a “planned gift” or charitable bequest. By making a bequest or other planned gift to A Little Help you can continue to help us make an important difference in the community. What better way to thank an organization that has had an impact on your life or community than to make a contribution from your estate.
