Our Mission

Exchanging Time, Creating Community
Help older adults live independently in their own homes and actively engage in the community by a unique culture of service exchange where members volunteer their time and talents to help each other with neighborly services such as transportation, handyman repairs, person-centered support, and social engagement. In exchange, those members ask for assistance when needed.

Our Vision

Provide an opportunity for all generations to support the independence of older adults, empowering and enabling them to be an active part of the community while aging in place.
 

Our Core Values

Volunteerism – We are committed to preserving, promoting, and providing opportunities to serve older adults through volunteerism.
Community – We are committed to building a robust and consistent network of diverse relationships with our neighbors.
Compassion – We are committed to being a place of hope, liberty, and inclusion.
Respect – We are committed to upholding a culture of respect. We treat all people with courtesy, politeness, and kindness.
Dignity – We are committed to recognizing and acknowledging the inherent value of all human beings across all demographics.
Empowerment – We recognize the incredible potential in all people and are committed to empowering ourselves and others.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors since 1993

For more than three decades, our companion care services, volunteer assistance, and practical support programs have helped promote health and wellness, prevent social isolation, encourage connections, and empower older adults to thrive while aging in place. 

Our Ride Partners volunteer program provides members with arm-in-arm, door-through-door transportation to medical facilities, healthcare appointments, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and errands. This reliable transportation is a key part of our aging in place support services.

Our Repairs with Care home handyman program helps members with common household repairs and maintenance tasks—from changing light bulbs to repairing faucets and installing safety items like grab bars. These home support services help members stay safe and independent in their homes.

Member Care is a person-centered program that provides advocacy and encourages community engagement through social learning events and opportunities to build community and companionship.

Our Upscale Resale Boutiques are social enterprises where proceeds support our programs and provide community service opportunities. Members also volunteer at the boutique—banking time, making new friends, and staying engaged in the community.

At its core, PIC exists to build and sustain a caring community where our members can thrive by giving and receiving support. 

We invite you to learn more about getting involved—and how you can make a difference in the lives of older adults.
