Our Volunteers Make All The Difference

As our community population continues to grow, so does the need for in-home services that support family caregivers and provide assistance to those without family support.  Our volunteers help care recipients with simple tasks - picking up groceries, changing light bulbs, preparing a meal in the care recipient's home, an afternoon of companionship - short, doable deeds that make all the difference in the world.

 

Volunteering your time is Simple

Oftentimes, the assistance does not require special skills or certifications - it just takes an able and willing volunteer, a couple of hours and a willingness to help.

 

One Good Deed is an Atlanta based grassroots non-profit organization that utilizes volunteers of all ages to assist and improve the quality of life for older adults and people with disabilities. We provide assistance to seniors and other persons with physical or long-term health needs so that they are able to maintain their independence, remain in their homes longer, and avoid costly institutional care.

 

We can Help!

Volunteer - Care Recipient Matchingvolunteers respond to Care recipient requests to assist them by performing One Good Deed, which usually takes less than two hours.
