Donate

Approximately 4% of our budget is comprised of financial donations, both small and large, from you. These donations help us to do some of the “extra” things as well as help us make ends meet. We pledge to use your donations wisely as we provide activities, programs, services, and referrals designed to enhance quality of life and encourage aging with independence and dignity.

We are a 501(C)3 organization, so all donations are tax deductible.
