Council on Aging is hosting “Give65” fundraiser.
The goal of the fundraiser is $15,000 and currently, they’ve raised over $7,600. Due to COVID-19, additional stresses have been placed on those over the age of 65 often due to underlying medical conditions.
In explaining why they created the fundraiser on their website they state, “COA is taking a lead role in advocating to ensure state officials prioritize older adults, particularly nursing home residents and staff for COVID-19 testing, PPE supplies and supplemental staffing. We’re convening senior service organizations to share reliable information and address unmet needs like food access & delivery and caregiver support. In addition, COA’s helpline is connecting callers to community resources and offering friendly chats to boost spirits. We also continue to provide vital and trusted information through our e-newsletters, Scam of the Month emails, Directory of Services, website and more!”
Make your donation here. Today, July 17th, is the last day to donate.
