A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
When Covid hit our community, our most vulnerable population was drastically impacted. Those who relied on Aging Partners to be open and serve a healthy meal was closed indefinitely. Not only did this deprive Seniors of a meal, but companionship. The staff at Aging Partners realized the need to get nutritious meals to Seniors, but had not way of transporting meals throughout the community. The Seniors Foundation was able to provide funding for two vans to fulfill the need. To address isolation, the Seniors Foundation, in partnership with federal grant funding, NeighborLNK was created and is still in existence today. Community members can now help our Senior population by checking in on them and perform needed tasks so they can lead better lives.
More recently, the Seniors Foundation helped secure major funding to complete the move of Aging Partners to Victory Park from their downtown location. The number of Seniors served has almost doubled. The new location offers greater accessibility and convenience of services under one roof. The Seniors Foundation is honored to be a part of helping Seniors lead better lives.
