WHY WE DO IT:
Aging comes with a price.  The three biggest threats to aging are hunger, isolation and loss of independence.  Statistics state that 1 in 7 seniors will face these threats...especially in rural communities.  It is critical for seniors to have the resources and support available to assist them gain quality of life.  Our staff and volunteers are passionate about helping our seniors maintain dignity while aging.  We are making a difference.
