Sidekicks
Our initiative not only helps seniors maintain their independence and well-being but also nurtures meaningful intergenerational friendships. Volunteers experience the joy of giving back and forming connections with the older generation, fostering a sense of community and mutual appreciation.
Companion Care
People are living ~10 years longer now than they did 50 years ago, and Sidekick's efforts are especially vital. This extended lifespan often results in more elderly individuals living alone, creating a greater need for a helping hand to stay active and engaged in their communities. By addressing these needs with compassion and dedication, Sidekick aims to uplift the quality of life for the elderly while strengthening community bonds and encouraging social responsibility among younger generations.
About us
Sidekick was formed to address the growing needs of our elderly population by connecting them with local volunteers who assist with everyday tasks and chores.
Our mission is to enrich the lives of seniors by easing the physical and logistical challenges they face daily. By pairing volunteers with elderly individuals in their local communities, we strive to make tasks like grocery shopping, carrying packages, and cleaning more manageable and less stressful.
