Volunteer: Cleanup VolunteersThe Portage County Hoarding Task Force works with people age 60 and over to ensure in-home safety and mobility while respecting the individual's self-determination and personal needs. The Hoarding Task Force was founded in 2017 to meet the need for awareness and treatment of hoarding disorder in Portage County. We are an interdisciplinary group of professionals, students, county residents, and volunteers who seek to care for the mental health concerns of older people in our community. Hoarding is a mental health issue, so it is important that our volunteers be open to learning more about mental health and be respectful and supportive during the recovery process of the people we serve. We can also work around volunteer schedules, so you can tell us what times of the week or month work best for you. If you want to improve mental health and quality of life for elders in our community, feel free to send us an email or give us a call to help with our cleanups!
