Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a Shawnee volunteer program that helps eligible residents maintain and remain in their home. Neighbors Helping Neighbors connects volunteers, volunteer groups, and organizations with eligible Shawnee residents whose homes require maintenance and/or repair.

As a volunteer, you are asked to help residents of Shawnee, who meet certain eligibility requirements, to stay in their home by providing limited occasional services such as:

• Trash removal
• Yard Maintenance
• Snow removal
• Lawn mowing
• Limited plumbing and electrical repair
• Exterior painting
• Raking leaves
• Trimming branches
• Changing light bulbs
• Changing smoke alarm batteries
• Turning mattresses
• Some city-issued codes

We are excited to announce the Fire Department launched a new program called Safe Senior Program. In 2020, Shawnee firefighters responded to nearly 1,000 calls to help citizens who fell in their homes. The goal of this program is to keep older residents safe and reduce calls of this nature.

Shawnee seniors or caregivers can take advantage of this program by calling the Fire Department at (913) 631-1080 to schedule a FREE appointment.
