HandyWorks

About HandyWorks

HandyWorks helps older adults in south, southeast and northeast Minneapolis continue living independently at home by matching them with a network of both paid and volunteer chore workers. Workers complete chores such as snow removal, lawn mowing, laundry, door-lock replacement, and housecleaning.

What to Expect:

Expect dependable, courteous, and prompt service. Chores average $12 to $15 an hour depending upon the chore and whether workers need to bring their own equipment or use the homeowner's equipment. Some subsidy may be available to eligible and especially low-income seniors. To ensure the homeowner's safety, a criminal background check also is conducted on each worker.

How to Get Started:

Call 612-721-8687, ext. 329 for more information.
