The Tompkins County Office for the Aging maintains a list of individuals who would be willing to do yard work and/or Handy Man services for older adults. With Summer rapidly approaching, lawn mowing, gardening, and general yard work is needed. Many older adults are unable to maintain their yards or may have small tasks needed completed around the house. The Office is currently updating its list and is in need of more workers. Specifically, the Office needs individuals who are willing to work in places outside the City of Ithaca and in rural areas.

If you are interested in assisting older adults with general yard work or handy man services, on either a paid or volunteer basis, please call the Tompkins County Office for the Aging at 607-274-5482.
