With more than 30 community-based services, the Local Office on Aging continues to strive to fulfill its mission of helping older persons remain independent for as long as possible. But we can't do it alone. We will use donations to fill the plate of services where it is needed most.

How Your Donation Helps

$1,000 enables LOA to help more seniors with Transportation to the doctor, pharmacy, or grocery store. Costs have risen drastically for this vital service. We provided more than 11,000 rides for more than 1,600 seniors in 2023.

$500 assists one senior with In-Home Care. 100 clients received Personal Care Services in 2023. The waiting list is nearly twice that number.

$250 delivers 30 Meals on Wheels, or 20 Diner's Club lunches. Volunteers delivered more than 114,000 meals last year. This year, Meals on Wheels is expected to have its first significant waiting list since before 2020.

$100 gives eligible seniors much needed Legal Assistance, such as creating Power of Attorney documents and Living Wills.

$50 provides 5 people with Emergency Services, including the provision of a cane or walker, Cooling Assistance, or LOA's Emergency Food Pantry.

Contributions will be used for the greatest need.
