The Area Agency on Aging needs the Community’s help to fund home delivered meals, homemaker and respite care services to the most vulnerable elderly in our area. Over the past year, the agency has seen a 54 % increase in calls for service to the elderly, and now we have to turn away all new potential clients for those in-home services because of the lack of funds. Our mission is to keep as many elderly people in their homes as possible, and we feel if we do not fundraise with the community at this critical juncture, many of these people will go without food, ration their medications to purchase food or become critically ill and be admitted to a skilled nursing facility prematurely. Will you join us in our fundraising efforts?  Our need is so great that all funds raised will be used for direct services to the elderly.
