About Us:
A volunteer-based, non-profit organization founded to empower
members of our community to continue living in our homes,
where we want to be as we age.
Contact Us
Our group came together because we want to stay in our own
homes as we get older, and we want others in Yakima and Selah
to have the option to stay in their homes and thrive.
We are creating a network to make that possible.
Member Services:
member application
We offer with membership and through the help of volunteers;
- Rides to and from appointments, social activities, church, shopping. Transportation by screened volunteers in response to member needs.
- Help in the home- changing a light bulb, occasional light housekeeping, flipping your mattress.
- Meal preparation - Did you break your arm and are finding this too difficult for a couple weeks? Maybe just need some meals ready in the freezer (food cost will be up to the member).
- Sewing - Hems, tears, etc.
- Temporary yard work - for emergencies, or occasionally. Not for regular maintenance.
- Technology Assistance - Cell phone questions, programming an answering machine, printer problems, or questions about a new gadget that has you stumped!
- Educational, personal enrichment and social activities within our network and in the community in response to member interests.
Please note:
Yakima and Selah Neighbors’ Network is not an emergency service, healthcare provider, or residential facility.
