Chore Corps Mission
"To perform jobs which, if neglected, would adversely affect the health and/or safety of the senior."
Purpose
Chore Corps is Warren County's own Fixit Program created to help Warren County seniors with minor home repairs and maintenance.
Chore Corps volunteers perform small safety or health related home repairs and chores for Warren County residents aged 60 and over. Labor is offered without charge, but the cost of material(s) needed for the repair(s) is the responsibility of the client.
This service is free to all Warren County seniors. Our volunteers do not accept any form of payment. Donations are always welcome and accepted.

- Chore Corps volunteers may not be able or capable of meeting emergency requests.
- Chore Corps will not do any jobs involving ladders or smoke detectors.
- Chore Corps will not discriminate on the basis of handicap, sex, race, creed, national origin, or any other protected class.
