Cultivate provides safety net and community outreach services, which provide participants access to transportation, nutrition, healthcare, personal safety and home maintenance while ensuring their independence and quality of life.

The Carry-out Caravan program connects members of the community with seniors who face the challenge of securing reliable access to groceries. Volunteers provide caring assistance throughout the entire process of ordering, purchasing and delivering groceries from their partner, King Soopers, straight to seniors’ homes.

The VetsGo program connects members of the community with senior veterans 60+ (and their family members who are 60+) who face the challenge of obtaining reliable transportation to and from their medical appointments. Volunteers pick up senior vets (or their family members who are 60+) and escort them to and from medical appointments, including to VA facilities, in and beyond Boulder County.

The Fix-It program connects members of the community with seniors who face the challenges of maintaining their home. Skilled volunteers promote safety and provide friendly interactions by visiting seniors’ homes to perform simple home repairs, wheelchair/walker repairs, and grab bar installations.

The SnowBusters program connects members of the community with seniors who face challenges clearing snow from sidewalks around their home, oftentimes leading to a fine from the city. After a storm hits, volunteers visit seniors’ homes to shovel snow, provide friendly interactions, and promote safety and peace of mind. In the spring, summer and fall, YardBusters volunteers provide basic yard cleanup for seniors who are facing the challenge of maintaining their yards.

Cultivate has been a station of the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) since 1972. Cultivate helps volunteers ages 55 and better to match with a volunteer experience that matches their interests.

File of Life is an emergency preparedness file that promotes safety and peace of mind. It is the first thing that emergency personnel looks for when they enter your home. File of Life provides important information about your medical history, physician info, and medications all in one place, in case of emergency.
