INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE?

Start the process by submitting a membership inquiry. Once we learn of your interest, we will schedule a Home Visit where two volunteers will meet with you in your home to share more about UpRiver Village and learn more about your needs. If our services are a good fit, you'll complete the full membership application, attend a membership orientation and pay your dues. Once this process is complete, you'll be able to request services.
