Chore Services - Merrick Community Services
651-695-4000
A program providing chore services for many St. Paul communities including the Summit Hill Neighborhood.

NOTE: Beginning in 2009, the former "Job Connection" program, once administered by the Macalester-Groveland Community Council, will now be administered by Merrick Community Services, Merrick which currently provides services for children, family, and senior citizens on the East Side and has run it's own chore program for the last three years.

The Macalester-Groveland Community Council and Merrick Community Services will be working together to ensure a smooth transition. Please be aware that there may be minor changes that will affect how the program is run. Participants and contractors will be notified of any changes before they take place. If you have any questions about these changes, please contact the Merrick office at 651-771-6325.
