The Mower County Senior Center has lended a helping hand to seniors through their chore program for the past 24 years, and they aren’t looking to stop any time soon.

Seniors 60 years old and up can get help with housework and outdoor services, like laundry, window and floor washing, snow shoveling and lawn mowing.

“We’ve gotten lots of good feedback,” said Cristina Melchor, chore program coordinator. “They’re very appreciative and grateful.”

The senior center currently helps about 250 clients a month.

“It’s extremely important for some of our clients,” Melchor said.

The program’s goal is to keep seniors in their homes and to help them with tasks that may be hard for them.

“They can be fragile or at a point in their lives where heavier work can be difficult,” Melchor said.

Interested seniors can call Melchor at 507-481-3333 and see if they qualify for funding.
