Aging Helpline
With a staffed helpline, we are able to provide resources for older adults.
We also help with items not covered by Medicare or other sources, which may include dentures and hearing aids.
Applications are reviewed based on income eligibility and program restrictions, and support is limited depending on the amount of private donations, sponsorships, grants, and support from the community.
