Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency offers free home decoration for the holidays as part of its Family Support Services Program.
Holiday yard decoration is available to seniors and residents with disabilities in Oakland County for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays.
Recipients provide decorations and materials. Decorations are limited to heights reachable by a standard-height ladder.
The first 49 hours to be scheduled will be free. Beyond the donated time, the service is available for $18/hour.
‘We’re grateful for the donation that is making this possible,? said Marie Verheyen, Associate Director for Older Adult Services at OLHSA. ‘Helping to enhance the holiday experience for our neighbors is deeply rewarding and being able to provide the service free of charge is very exciting.?
The Family Support Services program provides a variety of valuable home assistance services including bed making, leaf raking, assistance with purchase and installation of computers, and grocery shopping among others.
The program normally charges a fee of $18 per hour, but occasionally receives donations that allow services to be offered free. Donations are accepted all year long.
