About This Cause
Community Caregivers of Greater Derry is a community-based, nonprofit organization that provides volunteer services and support to the elderly, disabled, and chronically or temporarily ill residents of a seven-town area of southern New Hampshire. We provide, through a network of trained and vetted volunteers, the support and assistance necessary to help some of the most vulnerable residents in our service area remain independent in their own homes and in their communities for as long as possible. Services that our volunteers provide include transportation to and from doctors’ appointments and medical treatments, grocery shopping and other essential errands, friendly visiting, respite, light chores, home repair and yard work. In 2020, our 422 volunteers contributed a total of 42,938 hours to help their neighbors in need. They drove 144,139 miles, and provided 16,835 units of service. (A unit of service could be a 30 minute drive to physical therapy or a 2 hour grocery shopping trip). In addition to our Volunteer Care-Giving Program, Caregivers also operates The Loaners Closet – a supply of durable medical equipment (wheel chairs, walkers, commodes, etc.) that is available for loan, free of charge, to anyone who needs it for as long as they need it, and Project Up-Keep a special set of volunteers we use to do small home repair and maintenance projects at our constituency’s homes. All services we offer are provided free of charge.
