HOME Team sends volunteers into the community to assist elderly homeowners in making minor repairs. The Team is well-regarded throughout Lamorinda. That all services rendered are free of charge enhances its public appeal.
Shut down by pandemic restrictions in March of 2020, the Team's first date for making house calls is Sept. 25. Englehart said that because of the extended hiatus, there are "quite a few in queue." House calls are scheduled bimonthly. Although there is no income ceiling, the services rendered must involve a home (no rentals).
HOME Team is Lamorinda Sunrise's signature community-service program. It proved so popular that it was adopted by more than 30 other Rotary clubs, one as far away as suburban Chicago.
All service calls are by appointment. Homeowners may request a visit in multiple ways - through church or synagogue, senior center, by visiting?www.rotaryhometeam.com, by emailing info@rotaryhometeam.com, or by phoning toll free 1-888-204-5573. |
