Helping Hands of Vegas Valley
Need support?
Our Programs
and Services
We offer programs and services free of charge to any older adult 60 years young in Southern Nevada in need of support who meets the eligibility criteria of each program. We have identified the primary challenges faced by area seniors.
Pantry
Picture the hope in the eyes of our cherished Las Vegas and North Las Vegas elders, living on modest means. At HHOVV, we see them, hear them, and act.
Our volunteers bring more than groceries to homebound seniors – they deliver compassion and connection. Our Senior Marketplace, open thrice weekly, offers a dignified lifeline to those who can visit.
In 2020, our hearts led us to expand, reaching the often-forgotten rural areas of Southern Nevada. Now, seniors in Mesquite, Indian Springs, and Amargosa Valley no longer face bare cupboards alone.
We’re not just a food program – we’re a promise that no senior in our care will choose between medicine and meals. At HHOVV, we’re nourishing bodies and souls, rekindling dignity in every life we touch.
Nutrition Program
Picture the joy in the faces of our beloved seniors across Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, often living with limited means. At HHOVV, we don’t just see their hunger; we nourish their bodies and spirits with compassion.
Our nutrition program goes beyond simply serving and delivering meals. We provide sustenance, offering wholesome, nutritious food that fuels both body and soul.
In 2020, we expanded our mission to include the often-overlooked rural areas of Southern Nevada. Now, seniors in Mesquite, Indian Springs, and Amargosa Valley no longer face the despair of empty pantries or the isolation of mealtime alone.
In 2023, we formed a partnership with CenterWell Senior Primary Care to host a congregate meal we like to call Senior Social. Seniors from all over the valley can come and be served and waited on with friends completely free of cost.
We’re not just a meal service – we’re a promise that no senior in our care will struggle with hunger. At HHOVV, we’re feeding lives with dignity and love, ensuring every senior experiences the comfort and security of regular, nutritious meals.
Transportation
Imagine the anticipation in the hearts of our treasured older adults across Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, often living on limited resources. At HHOVV, we don’t just see their needs; we respond with purpose and compassion.
Our transportation program goes beyond merely providing rides. We offer a gateway to independence, ensuring that seniors can access vital medical appointments, grocery stores, and social activities without the burden of isolation.
We’re not just a transportation service – we’re a commitment that no senior in our care will be stranded or isolated. At HHOVV, we’re bridging gaps and paving pathways to enriched lives, reigniting hope and fostering independence with every mile we cover.
Home Repair Program
We believe every senior deserves a safe, comfortable home. That’s why our hearts are dedicated to helping our cherished elders, aged 60 and above, who own and live in their homes within our service area. We lovingly offer a helping hand with those pesky household tasks that can become daunting as we age.
Imagine the relief and gratitude when a kind volunteer changes a hard-to-reach light bulb, ensuring a warm, welcoming glow. Picture the peace of mind that comes from fresh batteries in a smoke alarm, or the comfort of clean air flowing through a new filter. These small acts of kindness can mean the world to someone who might otherwise struggle.
But our care doesn’t stop there. We understand that some repairs require expert hands, which is why we joyfully cover the cost of professional appliance and HVAC repairs. It’s our way of wrapping our community’s seniors in a blanket of support, ensuring they can age gracefully and safely in the homes they love.
Every nail hammered, every filter changed, every appliance fixed is a testament to our commitment to honoring and protecting the generation that built our community. Together, we’re not just repairing homes – we’re nurturing hearts and preserving dignity.
Respite Program
Caregivers find solace in the possibility of receiving a $1000 grant—a beacon of hope amidst your responsibilities. Picture the comfort of having assistance at home, your loved one relishing a daycare program, or a brief respite at a care facility. This invaluable reprieve is not merely a pause but a source of rejuvenation, empowering you to extend compassionate care for an extended duration.
These grants serve a dual purpose, not only aiding individuals but also facilitating seniors to gracefully age in their homes, thereby curbing significant expenses for Nevada’s Medicaid program. This compassionate initiative creates a ripple effect, positively impacting numerous lives.
If you find yourself overwhelmed, consider reaching out to Helping Hands of Vegas Valley. We stand ready to support you, guiding you and your family towards moments of tranquility in this journey of love. Let us accompany you; you are not alone in the honorable endeavor of caring for our esteemed elders.
