Thank You to the Farrer Endowment Foundation!

Elderbridge Agency on Aging is thrilled to share that on October 21, 2025, we received a $10,000 grant from the Farrer Endowment Foundation in support of our Volunteer Program.

This generous funding will make a meaningful impact by helping us reimburse mileage for our volunteers who transport clients, ensuring they can continue providing essential rides and support without personal financial burden. The grant will also help fund volunteer appreciation and recognition activities, certificates, postage, supplies, and more.

We are deeply grateful to the Farrer Endowment Foundation for their generosity and commitment to helping us honor and sustain the volunteers who make such a difference in our community. Thank you for supporting our mission.
