- chores and much more.
You can reach this program by calling Tekla at 586-498-2339 or stop in the office and speak with her directly.
Housing
Helping Hands has information on available senior housing. If you, or anyone you know, is in need of assistance for housing in St. Clair Shores and surrounding areas, please call Tekla at 586-498-2339 for more information.
Loan Closets
Helping Hands at the Saint Clair Shores Senior Center can refer you to community loan closets. Macomb County accepts and loans wheelchairs, canes, and walkers. Donated equipment must be clean and in good working condition. The Walter F Bruce VFW Post #1146 also has a closet available for loans and donations. Please call Tekla to inquire about either: 586-498-2339.
