Lend A Hand Senior Assistance

“I chose to support this non-profit organization because not everyone has a support system willing to actively participate in their elderly family member’s lives when they really need it most. Having services available to transport to doctors visits or provide food when they are unable to cook or go to the grocery store is a necessity, not a luxury. Lend A Hand doesn’t only provide services to the elderly, they also assist individuals with special needs. This non-profit resonates with me because throughout my life I have encountered well deserving people that could really benefit from a helping hand.”
