Our Story

Small Acts of Help. Big Impact.

Everyday Hands began with one simple belief: small acts of help can make a big difference. Since 2016, we’ve been assisting neighbors with everyday tasks—grocery runs, errands, companionship visits, light home organization, and more—bringing warmth, respect, and peace of mind to seniors, adults, and busy families in Rochester.

How it Began

In 2016, Lauren Goetz began lending a hand to neighbors in with everyday tasks—picking up groceries, running errands, tidying a home, or simply keeping someone company. What started as casual help soon revealed a bigger need: families were juggling busy lives, seniors wanted to stay independent, adult children needed support for elderly parents, and everyone craved trustworthy, compassionate support.

Lauren quickly realized that even small acts—carrying a heavy bag, organizing a closet, or sharing a warm conversation—could make a huge difference in someone’s day. Word spread, and what began as a few friendly favors blossomed into Everyday Hands, a trusted resource for seniors, adults, and busy families across the Rochester community.
