Job Matchmaker

This is a list of local residents who are workers who want to do a casual job (such as snow shovelling). There’s also a paper version of this listing occasionally published in the Champlain Speaker.

For anonymity reasons we now have a matchmaker volunteer (MatchMakerCPCA@gmail.com) who will be the optional point of contact when privacy is desired (such as for young babysitters who shouldn’t have their phone/text number or e-mail made public, yes there were complaints about creepy phone calls). If you wish to, you can still provide separate contact information for the paper edition (fairly safe) and/or web page (less safe).
