Is your home in dire need of maintenance, but you just can’t do the job on your own? A senior home repair program sponsored by Kiwanis and the Bonney Lake Senior Center’s senior advisory board is accepting projects for the spring time.

“We have plenty of people making use of the program,” Senior Center Aide and Project Coordinator Phil DeLeo said. “We’re in the process of repairing a lady’s deck. We had a water leak under a house. And we installed a detachable bar for a man’s bathtub. We even had one guy from Sumner who had read about us and called for help.”

The Home Depot in Bonney Lake donated $2,000 to the program late last year, in the form of a store gift card, and has offered occasional discounts for some materials. The card has about $133 left after being used for several projects, one of which cost more than $1,000.

“We could always use more donations,” DeLeo said.

Kiwanis and the advisory board began the program three years ago as a way to assist seniors in maintaining their homes. Volunteers perform jobs such as repairing porches, replacing furnace filters or simply gathering firewood. DeLeo currently oversees the program.

Regular volunteers have come from the Lake Tapps Community Church and a local Boy Scout troop, he said.

The senior senter is located at 19304 Bonney Lake Blvd.
