i connected with a local nonprofit (called vicap). their primary mission was providing transportation for the elderly, but they also offered handyman services & technology assistance.
met some very cool people, including a very butch, retired army staff seargent and her wife. she served during the don't-ask-don't-tell era and they had to navigate all of that as a couple. they were one of the first to get married when it became legal to do so.
she called vicap because she needed help putting up xmas lights.
