The Estes Park Newcomer Board is pleased to announce a brand new member service called LotsaHelpingHands. This new service is available to all active and graduate members of Newcomers.
We know that Estes Park Newcomers is the place to make lifelong friendships, jexplore our Valley and give back to our community. But, at its core, Newcomers is an organization of people who care for and support each other. Since 1965, Newcomers have been asking for help when needed and giving assistance in return to our felllow members. LotsaHelpingHands is an independent website that offers a way to continue this tradition.
Here are just some of the ways the service can be used by our members and alumni:
- Providing meals to members who are recuperating from illness or surgery
- Providing rides to/from appointments or the grocery store
- Pet sitting or house sitting
- Help with technology -- from how to use your new iPhone to installing and using your new Echo
- Help around the house -- moving furniture, hanging a picture, assembling anything from Ikea
If you need a hand, just send an email to membership@estesparknewcomers.org with the details. You don't need a LotsaHelpingHands account, and you don't even need to go to the LotsaHelpingHands website. When you email your request, it will be posted on the calendar so that fellow Newcomers can see it and volunteer to help. When you reach out, please provide the following information:
- Your name, address, email address and phone
- What you need help with
- When you need that help: day, time, etc.
- Any other pertinent information
If you’re available to help, you will need to set up a LotsaHelpingHands website account. Then you can check the LotsaHelpingHands calendar regularly and click on the “volunteer” icon to let the requester know that you will be helping out.
Click here for more information or go to the EstesParkNewcomers.org website and click on "LotsaHelpingHands" under "Quick Links". You'll find three short informational videos:
