Central Indiana nonprofit CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions needs 200 volunteers for its annual event, Safe at Home, on Sept. 14. Each year, volunteers spend half a day helping make homes and yards safe and accessible for low-income older adults and people with disabilities. 

The event will serve residents in Northeast Indianapolis and will go from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To volunteer, you have to be at least 12 years old and minors must have adults with them.

Volunteers will start their day at 7:30 a.m. for registration and breakfast at 7:30 at Living Word Baptist Church, 4934 E. 21st St., before heading out to homes in the neighborhood. Lunch is provided at the end of the event.

Activities will include everything from yard work to installing a wheelchair ramp. For those who can’t volunteer, donations are accepted and go toward materials and maintenance.
