Experience the joy of giving back and making a meaningful difference in your community. By volunteering to assist homebound adults with essential errands like grocery shopping and medical appointments, you’re not just providing a ride – you’re offering companionship, support, and peace of mind. Your kindness helps aging adults maintain their independence, access vitally-needed services, and stay connected. Together, we can foster a healthier, happier, and more vibrant community for all. Discover the benefits of volunteering with Duet, where you can enrich your life and the lives of others on a schedule that works for you.
Our interactive Services Map shows our waiting list of homebound adults who need caring volunteers – just like you. Each symbol represents an actual person who is currently waiting to get groceries, friendly visiting, or assistance with paperwork, or computer training.
Normally our highest demand for volunteer services is to provide grocery shopping assistance and transportation to medical appointments. (Note: transportation to medical appointments is not represented on the interactive map)
Once you become a registered volunteer with us, you will be matched with a neighbor in need.
Shopping “for” or “with” someone once per week.
Sort mail, bill paying, insurance forms, etc. once per week/month, specifically designed to accommodate individuals who are visually impaired and/or affected by severe arthritis.
Minor home repairs, completed in one or two visits.
Escort someone to medical appointment, once per week.
One visit per week for about 1 hour. Or two to three phone calls per week, ten minute conversations.
Assist homebound seniors with use of technology. Smart phones, computers etc.
To help a homebound neighbor, a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance is required. If you already have a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance, simply provide a copy for our records. If you are under 18, you may volunteer under the supervision of an adult with a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance.
