A non-profit organization, founded on Christian values, composed of vetted & background-screened
men & women who volunteer their time and talents to provide those in need with BASIC household
repairs & chores. We install safety equipment such as railings & banisters, shower bars, smoke alarms do MINOR electric & plumbing & carpentry repairs. (This agency does NOT do roof & gutter replacement or repairs, painting of homes inside or out, renovations of bathrooms or kitchens, etc. They don’t clear flooded basements or clean mold. They also do NOT build structures such as garages or sheds).
We serve primarily Seniors, Veterans and those with documented disabilities in 8 counties of MI and
9 counties in KY. We will be opening up new offices around the country as well!
Please send your work request via the application on the website preferably OR call. Be SURE to give
the right phone number and key the agency number in your phone so you will know when the office is calling to arrange a repair! If they cannot reach you, you will be placed in the “inactive” file.
New Ramp Program! Effective May 2024 Ramp list is now CLOSED until Spring 2026!
Will be providing steel, temporary ramps to those who are confined to wheelchairs and cannot leave
their home safely due to this. All applicants will be vetted by a Social Worker with a medical back-
ground and you MAY have to provide a doctor’s prescription if there is a question about the need for
a ramp. The ramp will be ordered and delivered to client’s home and installed by SJ Helper volunteers.
You will need to sign a form stating that when the ramp is no longer needed, it will be returned to the
program to be passed on to the next client in need. You will need to send pictures of the outside of
the home to Photos@sjhelpers.org with your last name attached to pictures. If your home is not
the type that our ramps will fit, we will forward a list of agencies that can build you a ramp although
there is usually a waitlist at these agencies.
