A Little Help is a volunteer based nonprofit organization in Denver, Colorado. We started in 2005 as Washington Park Cares when a group of retirees recognized the desire of many seniors in the area to stay in their own homes and contribute to their respective communities. These neighbors based their model on the national village movement, where neighbors coordinate and deliver essential services within their community to allow elders to remain in their homes. In 2007,  we incorporated as a 501(c)(3) with the mission of providing older adults with non-medical services essential to maintaining active, productive lives in their own homes within community. 

Founded in 1906, the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce is the Island’s oldest and largest trade organization, comprising some 500 members, representing virtually every industry sector.
With a clear focus on advocacy, networking, communication and lobbying, the Chamber stands as a singular voice for commerce in the community. Organized by divisions, our members seek to address issues of mutual interest by market sector.

A Little Help is a nonprofit organization that connects neighbors across ages to enhance lives and strengthen our communities. Our mission is simple: connecting neighbors to help seniors thrive. A Little Help fosters community by connecting our elders with services and resources as they navigate the unknowns of aging and build meaningful connections with neighbors of all ages.
