Safe at Home is a high-impact, half-day of service to low-income senior homeowners over the age of 60 in Indianapolis. Volunteers help make their homes and yards safe and accessible for daily living. Every year CICOA and community volunteers provide home safety modifications and yard cleanup projects to a central Indiana community.
The event occurs during National Fall Prevention Awareness Month. Please join us in our community outreach to help prevent costly and dangerous falls among seniors.
More information and volunteer registration coming soon!

Volunteer at Safe at Home
Each year about 150 volunteers help with home modifications, yard cleanup, visiting with homeowners and event logistics. Volunteers make a difference by making homes and yards safe and accessible for daily living and helping to prevent falls. There are opportunities to volunteer at the Safe at Home event as a sponsor or community partner.
For the health and safety of the vulnerable seniors we serve as well as our volunteers, we will limit the number of volunteers inside each home.
Volunteers must be 12 or older, and minors (ages 12-17) must be accompanied by an adult.
Volunteer registration is not open yet. Please check back soon!
Sponsorships
Join us as a sponsor and bring a team of volunteers! We need house sponsors to help with the cost of building materials for the home modifications. Our house sponsors receive a host of benefits and can bring a team of volunteers as well.
As our sponsor, you will receive many benefits that provide visibility before, during and after the event in recognition of your support. Please join us for this special day!
For sponsorship information, please contact Lisa Morrissett at lmorrissett@cicoa.org or (317) 803-6287.
Donate
Home repairs and accessibility modifications can be costly, especially for seniors on a limited income. Your donation not only alleviates the burden of home maintenance costs, but it also makes a home safer, preventing falls and costly hospital visits.
