We’re going to be honest — we need help. ❤️
Our team is just 5 people, and while we’re passionate about what we do, we can’t handle fundraisers by ourselves.

If you’d like to help plan or volunteer at fundraising events, please reach out. We’d love to have you be part of our village!

URGENT: Our senior centers need your help now.

Funding changes are putting these vital programs at risk. Senior centers are not just meal sites — they are a lifeline for connection, safety, and dignity for our older adults.

Please take a moment today to review this information and contact your legislators and government officials. Let them know how critical it is to protect and fund our senior centers.

This website has a wealth of information about our funding cuts, how to contact legislatures, and more.

Our seniors cannot afford for this to wait.
