Hyattsville Aging in Place (HAP) is a volunteer-run nonprofit village dedicated to helping Hyattsville residents as they age in our community. (Villages are grassroots organizations around the country focused on supporting seniors.) We provide volunteer services, educational and social events and help advocate for the interests of our neighbors. Our services are available to residents of the City

of Hyattsville over the age of 60. HAP got started in 2011 and has provided rides, help with yard work, installed smoke detectors, moved furniture, shoveled snow and regularly visited with neighbors. HAP is funded through yearly membership dues and generous donations and grants. HAP membership is only $35 per year for individuals and $40 total for a couple ($20 for each). We are supported by a great group of volunteers who keep the organization running and provide services to our neighbors. Our volunteers are trained and must pass a background check before working with HAP’s neighbors.
