YARMOUTH — Yarmouth Cares About Neighbors is looking for volunteers to help with three new programs that are specially designed to help local seniors maintain their independence while making key connections within the community.
The Handy Helper Program needs volunteers who can perform light household maintenance such as replacing light bulbs, raking leaves, cleaning windows, painting, or gardening. The Friendly Visitor Program asks volunteers to visit with Yarmouth residents on a regular basis to provide companionship. The Phone Pal Program seeks anyone who’s interested in making regular calls for a friendly chat.
Volunteer orientation will be held Tuesday, Jan. 16; contact Yarmouth’s Community Resource Specialist at 835-9866 or MBrosnan@yarmouth.me.us.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
