Local Aging & Cares Groups

We are fortunate in Southeastern Vermont to have several volunteer groups and nonprofit organizations providing help to residents of specific towns. Some have a special focus on serving older adults, while others serve all ages. Services vary, and may include a community nurse, transportation assistance, help with chores, lending medical equipment, and more.
