Hearts & Hands Helping Seniors (LAIVC) is here to support you, free of charge.

Whether you need assistance today, have questions about our services, or simply want to learn more for the future, we encourage you to reach out.

Our goal is to make it easier for older adults in our community to access the help, connection, and support they need.

For the safety of both recipients and volunteers, LAIVC does not provide medical care or assist with medications.

Services are based on volunteer availability, and each recipient must be approved by the Executive Director before receiving services.
