Whether it’s contributing bedding for an elderly woman returning home from rehab, lending a hand with errands, or offering short-term companionship to someone waiting for adult day services, these small acts of care create a ripple effect that strengthens the whole community. CareForward makes it easy to turn compassion into action—because when neighbors look out for each other, everyone thrives.
A trusted local partner—like a Department of Social Services—enters a care request for someone in need.
How It Works

Volunteers Step In
Community members or organizations browse requests in their area and choose how they'd like to help—on their own terms, at their own pace.

Support is Delivered
Once the request is met, CareForward confirms delivery and checks to see if any additional help is needed.

Individual Volunteer
Partner Organization
When you sign up as a CareForward volunteer, you’ll receive access to real requests from people in your area facing tough circumstances. Whether it’s delivering a meal, donating household items, providing transportation, or offering your time, you decide how and when you help. There’s no obligation—just opportunities to make a real impact in your community.
All types of organizations can all become part of our Community Action Network at no cost. Partner organizations help us reach more people in need by encouraging employee or member volunteerism, contributing goods or services, and helping us build a stronger, more resilient local support system. We’ll even track volunteer impact for your records or corporate responsibility reports.
