Full Membership
What does it mean to be a member of My Glacier Village? In addition to connecting with a group of older adults who are staying engaged, active in their communities and helping others, it means having support when we need it. Full members are eligible to receive five service requests per month. Service requests can be for things like:
Rides to:
- our activities and events
- medical appointments
- college or other learning establishments
- church
- visit friends, etc
- the grocery store or other errands
Handyman/Small Home Projects
- replacing smoke alarm batteries,
- filling bird feeders
- fixing railings
- putting out summer furniture
- yard projects
- hanging shelves
Volunteers can also:
- help with pet care in an emergency
- get sheets back on the bed or flip a mattress
- answer tech questions
- be a walking buddy
Memberships are:
- $35/mo for individual and include five service requests/mo (six month minimum)
- $50 for couples and include seven service requests/mo (six month minimum)
And, for those services above what we can do as volunteers, ie: regular housekeeping or yard maintenance, plumbers and electricians, we have a Preferred Provider Directory of professionals that come highly recommended from someone in the Village. As part of our "peace of mind promise" our Preferred Providers also go through a vetting process.
Service Members Must:
- be 55 years of age or older
- be capable of living independently
- have a current relationship with a medical provider
- have no known major cognitive impairments
- be in a stable-home environment
- be able to provide emergency contact
Supporting Membership
Our Supporting Membership is for those who are simply looking for new connections, activities and inspiration. They aren't letting the grass grow beneath their feet. They are active and engaged and looking to share their passions and skills with others. They understand they may need help some day, but for now just want to be part of the community.
Supporting Membership does not require a home visit. Memberships are donations of $15/mo for an individual and $30/mo for a couple and are tax deductible. Supporting Members are invited to all of our events and activities and have access to:
- Our Preferred Providers Directory
- Member Phone Directory
- Our Village Talk interest groups
- Member discounts at community outings and events
Supporting Membership does not include rides to activities and events. Supporting Membership does not guarantee eligibility for full member services. If needs arise beyond what our volunteers can do, we will connect you to professionals and services that can help.
We are a community built for seniors, BY seniors and everyone has something to contribute. Giving back feels good and we encourage ALL of our members to volunteer in ways that they can. Please see our Volunteers page and fill out an application.
