  • Marty Brown, Serving Joyfully with St. Joseph Helpers
    Feb 10 2026

    St. Joseph Helpers is a nonprofit founded in Michigan, now expanding its reach to Kentucky. Their mission? Small home repairs—think grab bars in bathrooms, railings for steps, changing light bulbs, and replacing toilets. These basic upgrades make a huge difference for seniors and others who need a safer living environment.

    As Marty Brown explains, the ministry is built on volunteer work, insurance coverage for both clients and helpers, and partnerships with groups like the Lexington Senior Center and A Caring Place. The process is streamlined for safety and transparency: volunteers are background-checked, jobs are managed through their website, and clients know exactly who is coming to help.

    How You Can Get Involved

    Whether you’re handy, eager to help, or know someone in need, St. Joseph Helpers wants to hear from you! Head to sjhelpers.org, or call 1-800-303-5075. If you prefer talking directly, Marty is happy to answer questions—reach him at martyb@sjhelpers.org or 859-433-3103.

    Donations are always welcome and vital to keeping this ministry thriving. You can contribute online or through freewill offerings after services are completed.
