AARP would like to inform you of Volunteer's of America Safety of Seniors Handyman Program. This program is for low-income senior homeowners. The cost of labor is always free. The cost of material varies depending on client eligibility.

At AARP, we believe everyone deserves to live life to the fullest. As we celebrate Black History Month, we are proud to continue our commitment to helping everyone realize their own Real Possibilities. We recognize that some of the most powerful stories are not told in history books. That is why we are partnering with CBS Connecticut and WZMX Hot 93.7 to highlight some of the incredible people, right here in Connecticut, who are making a difference in their communities through actions big and small. There are thousands of such "unsung heroes" in our state and in our local communities. Whether fulfilling a personal passion or using their skills and talents to help others, each of them, in their own way, is helping to keep Dr. Martin Luther King's dream alive and ensure a better future for us all. We all have stories of success and triumph that deserve to be told. We hope you'll join us in sharing these stories, and in thanking the "unsung heroes" in your life.
