Mary sits by her window, watching the street she’s lived on for 42 years. Once bustling with visits from friends and family, her days have grown quieter—and her world smaller. Getting to the doctor is hard. Grocery bags feel heavier. And sometimes, she wonders if anyone still sees her.
Then a volunteer from A Little Help shows up with a warm smile and a ride to her appointment. They talk, laugh, and share stories on the way. For Mary, it’s not just a ride—it’s a reminder that SHE STILL MATTERS.
Your gift today means so much more than a donation. It means:
Your Gift can ensure every older adult knows they are not alone.
“My husband passed away last July, just a year ago. I recognized that I could call on you folks for so much. And so I must say to you a heartfelt 'Thank You'. 'Thank You' to each and every one of you who answered the phone, or made the appointment, or found the volunteers, or were the volunteers."
-Longtime A Little Help Member Greta
We recognize that there are many nonprofits worthy of support.
Thank you for choosing A Little Help.
A Little Help is a Colorado nonprofit that connects neighbors to help older adults thrive.
We empower our members to age well in their homes and communities by connecting them with neighbors of all ages who volunteer to provide services, as well as companionship. Our volunteers help with tasks like transportation, yard and home chores, handy and technology help, snow shoveling, and care calls, while forging meaningful intergenerational connections.
ALH mobilizes nearly 4,500 community volunteers to connect with 3,000 older adults, making an estimated $30M annual impact throughout Colorado.
A Little Help began in 2005 when a group of retirees recognized the desire of many older adults in the area to age well in their own homes. These neighbors based their model on the national village movement, where neighbors coordinate and deliver vital services within the community.
In 2007, A Little Help (formerly Washington Park Cares) incorporated as a 501(c)(3) to provide older adults with non-medical services and social supports essential to maintaining active, productive lives.
Since our founding, A Little Help has grown to build connections among neighbors in Metro Denver and Northern Colorado.
