Community Caregivers operates Project Upkeep as a complimentary program to better help our clients maintain their independence in their homes. This program is funded annually by People's United Bank. Volunteers with a range of skills are needed to assist our clients. Sample projects include: weatherizing doors and windows, fixing or installing hand rails, installing proper lighting and fixing leaky faucets. Often times Project Upkeep volunteers are sent out to appraise a project to determine if it can be accomplished by our volunteer team.
We need volunteers and tradesman to offer assistance to our elderly and disabled clients. Volunteers will be assigned tasks to improve the safety and livability of their homes. Volunteers and tradesman will be reimbursed for materials by our clients or through the Project Upkeep fund.
Interested volunteers also complete fall and spring yard cleanups and dump runs.

Community Caregivers of Greater Derry has been in existence for the past 33 years. The organization has focused on the needs of the elderly and disabled in our community. The intent of the program is to help those who have difficulty maintaining independence and quality of life because they are elderly, temporarily or permanently disabled, recuperating from illness or dealing with chronic illness. Services such as friendly visiting, grocery shopping, light chores and medical transport are offered through an incredible network or caring and committed volunteers. We serve the towns of Chester, Danville, Derry, Hampstead, Londonderry, Sandown and Windham. We also run a "Loaner's Closet" of used, durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, canes, shower chairs, and commodes available to anyone in the community FREE for as long as needed.
