CHORE is a great service that helps Bergen County Residents and Seniors. They will come to your home to assess your needs to ensure safety and efficiency. The assessment is free and a donation is requested for any work that would be executed. Check them out!

A Senior Services program of Bergen Volunteers, CHORE was established in 1977 and provides skilled volunteers the opportunity to perform minor home repairs that keep Bergen County senior and disabled residents safe in their own homes. There is no charge for service. Recipients only pay for the parts...
