Our Purpose

Our purpose is to assist the elderly or disabled individuals who cannot get around by themself to accomplished some of their daily task. Many of those receiving our help are often isolated, have serious health issues, and cannot do many things for themselves. Our mission is to enlisted and train long-term volunteers to help fill the needs of our clients. This relationship helps fill a gap in family presences, create a sense of comfort, and trust.  We also try to host social events to get our clients to connect with each other and their community.These social events are the highlight in our clients' lives and they also promote and lead to a healthier, happier senior population and community. The connections at these events help to strengthen relationships with our clients and their community at large.
