"Anyone who can do plumbing, painting, yard work, things like that - these seniors are in desperate need of these home repairs," Betty Ortiz, NICA volunteer coordinator said.

The nonprofit recently received a $20,000 grant to buy materials for the home repairs.

Ortiz says the need for volunteers is growing.

"We have currently about 40 seniors who will need home repairs," Ortiz said, "and that list is actually building."

If you can help you can call 817-626-1102.
