Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Make a Difference for Older Adults in Your Community
The Neighbors Care Alliance (NCA) connects caring people with opportunities to help older adults thrive safely in their homes and stay connected to their communities.
You can:
· Join an existing neighborhood volunteer group.
· Start a new group in your area—with our tools, training, and support to help you succeed.
Even a few hours a month can make a big difference. We’ll help match you with a role that fits your interests and schedule.
Volunteer roles can include:
· Driving someone to a medical appointment or grocery store
· Running errands or delivering meal
· Making friendly phone calls or visits
· Helping with light house or yard work
· Providing short breaks for family caregivers

About the Neighbors Care Alliance
The NCA is a network of neighborhood volunteer programs with a shared mission of helping older adults remain safely in their homes for as long as possible. Each program serves a specific geographic area and is independently organized.
Pima Council on Aging serves as the program administrator, providing:
· Tools to build program infrastructure
· Volunteer training
· Opportunities for networking and peer support
· Access to community resources
· Mileage reimbursement for volunteers
Neighbors connecting with neighbors reduces the social isolation many older adults face while helping meet everyday needs. Through participation in the NCA, neighborhood programs gain access to a broad network of resources and support, creating a stronger safety net for older adults.
