Your community support system one-stop support sytem

ThriveBridge Community Support is a not-for-profit initiative that provides free, community-based support Services for low-income individuals and families.

Senior Home Support Program

We offer a range of specialized services tailored to meet your individual needs.

We support seniors who are living alone, on a limited income, and need a bit of help to stay safe and independent at home.

What we can help with:

  • Light housekeeping (tidying, dishes, light cleaning)

  • Laundry folding and organization

  • Simple meal prep and food reheating

  • Grocery shopping or help ordering groceries

  • Companionship and friendly visits

  • Non-medical wellness check-ins

  • Accompaniment to local appointments (non-medical)

Important: We do not provide personal care (bathing, lifting, medication management, nursing, or PSW services). Our support is non-medical.

Tech Support for Seniors

Helping seniors feel confident using technology.

Many seniors struggle with phones, apps, and online services that are now part of everyday life. Our Tech Support program offers patient, one-on-one help in the senior’s home.

We can help seniors with:

  • Learning how to use their phone (calls, texts, photos)

  • Making video calls with family (WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger)

  • Using Maps for directions and appointments

  • Setting reminders (medications, bills, appointments)

  • Accessing important websites and portals

  • Setting up emergency contact buttons or apps

  • Turning on accessibility features (larger text, voice assist)

  • Recognizing scams and staying safe online

We do not: manage passwords, handle banking transactions, or repair devices. We teach and guide—seniors stay in control.

This program is for children who:
