HEALTH: United for Older Adults
Supporting Healthy Aging
Having help from family members, friends, neighbors and other community members can be vital for older adults as they age. In our region, there are 30,000 older adults who live alone, with no one to help them. Many cannot afford help.
Join United Way in our work to help older adults live with dignity, safety and independence in our community. Your support assists older adults with meeting basic needs, accessing medical care and staying active. We all have a stake in creating a healthy and prosperous community -- and when older adults succeed, we all win.
