Help for Aging Parents in Palo Alto
You can't always be there. Maybe you're in another state, or your week is already packed. VoGro pairs your parent with a background-checked volunteer nearby who helps with groceries, prescriptions, and errands.
You notice things
The fridge is emptier than it used to be. Prescriptions sit unfilled. They don't get out much. You want to do something, but you're not close enough to stop by.
A home aide feels like too much. What your parent actually wants is a neighbor who checks in, picks things up, and sticks around to talk. That's what VoGro does.
What we actually do
Quick to Set Up
Fill out a form or call. Takes a few minutes.
Background-Checked
Every volunteer passes a background check and orientation.
A Neighbor, Not a Staffer
Someone local who actually wants to be there.
“I live in Portland, so I can't just swing by when my mom needs something. Having local volunteers who can help with everyday tasks takes a lot off my mind.”

Son of senior in Barron Park
