What is a Village?
Villages are local, volunteer-led organizations that support community members by fostering social connections through activities, events and the coordination of volunteers using a neighbor-to-neighbor model. While no two villages are alike, services may include transportation to medical appointments, light yard work, home maintenance, tutoring, friendly visits, social outings and more.
