Starting tomorrow at 8 a.m.,for 36 hours your donation is stretched when you give through the Great Give!Make a Difference!
Here is one way your donation to AOASCC can make a difference. Transportation remains the primary issue of concern for older adults. Medical Transportation is one of the greatest needs, and, while there are options, barriers such as cost, smartphone apps, and even getting into a stranger’s car, can all prove overwhelming. This past year, we added a transportation program pairing caring and trained chaperones with older adults to assist them to and from medical appointments. Older adults need transportation services that meet their specific needs. YOUR DONATION can help us expand this program and create new transportation options.
With YOUR Donation…Together we will make a differencehelping individuals remain safely at home,supporting caregivers &providing opportunities to stay healthy and engaged.
