About HandyWorks

HandyWorks helps older and permanently physically disabled 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, yard care, house cleaning, laundry, and minor repairs such as door-lock replacement.

What to Expect:

HandyWorks workers will be courteous, dependable and prompt.  To ensure client's safety a criminal background check is conducted on each worker. 

While many of the services are free, some work is done by contractors and fees average $12 - $15 an hour.  Some subsidy may be available to eligible clients, especially low-income seniors.
