Repairing homes and
hearts through volunteer
home repair services
At St. Joseph's Helpers, we strive to be more than just a home repair service. Our organization aims to help those in need with home repairs, companionship and to give our clients peace of mind and a sense of well being.
We match people in need of our services to our volunteers who have the desire to help, not only with physical tasks, but with spiritual needs as well as to build a sense of community and fellowship.

We help families and individuals in need, especially the elderly, people with disabilities, and those who just need a helping hand stay in their own homes and remain independent. We currently serve Southeastern Michigan and Fayette County Kentucky communities to keep homes safe, healthy and affordable.
As a nonprofit, St. Joseph’s Helpers operates strictly through volunteers and donations. We connect people in need to volunteers that have the skills and expertise to complete each unique home project or repair.
St.Joseph’s Helpers is an organization founded on Christian values, made up of men and women who volunteer their time and talents to help those in need to feel safe and secure in their homes.
In 2011, Julie Kennedy- Carpenter created Julie’s List to equip social workers and helping professionals with a user-friendly tool for finding vital community resources. What began as a personal mission to ease the burden of navigating social services has grown into a powerful online database that brings help within reach for those who need it most. Julie’s List offers a wide range of support services for the elderly, people with disabilities, individuals facing mental and physical health challenges, caregivers, survivors of abuse, the unemployed, and the unhoused. It also thoughtfully includes programs that serve specific ethnic and religious groups, recognizing the importance of culturally sensitive care. Now in partnership with St. Joseph’s Helpers, Julie’s List continues to be an essential resource for our volunteers and those we serve. As we expand our work into new states and regions, we are committed to updating the database to reflect local organizations and services, ensuring that wherever we go, help is just a click away. Together, we are building a network of hope, compassion, and practical support, one community at a time.
Peter was awesome! So kind and very quick with my repair. Perfect for seniors that need help at home but live on a tight budget. We also shared a prayer before he left. Thank you for keeping us safe! This is a wonderful organization!
I am elated that my volunteer was on time, to the minute; and only took an hour to finish the job! Thank you so much!
My Volunteer was very friendly and informative about what they were doing. They were perfect!
Paul was great! He arrived at the time scheduled and was very kind.
St Joseph's Helpers are all treasures! Thank you.
I needed grab bars installed in my shower. Neal came in and in 30 minutes was finished. I am glad, as it will keep me safe in my shower now!
I am a Veteran on a fixed income, SJH helped me replace my mailbox at the road. I have many small repairs around my home that I am unable to do. I am thankful SJH is able to help me.
The work my SJ Helpers did for me was excellent. They were courteous and kind.
My SJ Helper installed a garbage disposal for me. He was superior, fabulous and I can't praise him enough, couldn't have asked for anyone better!
I am so pleased and extremely appreciative of the work SJ Helpers did for me! The volunteers were very polite and I will recommend to others!
Jeff was so nice, and angel. What a wonderful guy, a Veteran and we shared stories about our time in the service while he was doing the repair to my toilet.
Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for all the blessings you have bestowed on our St Joseph's Helpers Family.
May our lives reflect your faithfulness, and witness to your unfailing love. Guide us in our work together that all we do may be for your glory.
Send your holy spirit upon us and open our hearts to generously respond to your call. Keep us ever mindful of the mission and purpose of St Joseph's Helpers. Amen
Dear Lord, send down your mercy and your blessing upon us here and upon this house. May your angel of mercy watch over it and keep all who live here safe from harm. May he guide us into the fulfillment of your holy will, teaching us to observe what Christ has taught us. O Lord, grant us health and length of days, giving us from your generous hand all that we need to live well and wisely. Save all those who are in want or trouble of any kind. May this house be known as a place of joy and mercy, where the kindness of Christ becomes real for all who live here and who visit. Be merciful to us, Lord: For you are a merciful God, who loves mankind, and to you we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever Amen.
