With more than 30 community-based services, the Local Office on Aging continues to strive to fulfill its mission of helping older persons remain independent for as long as possible.
But we can’t do it alone. We rely on your donations and will use them to fill the plate of services where they are needed most.
Your Gift Provides More Than A Meal®
Transportation
“The drivers are very caring and professional, they are very dependable. One less thing I have to worry about.”
LOA provided 6,395 one-way trips for seniors in 2024.
Diners Clubs
“When my husband died, the days got very long and trying to fill them was not easy. I was asked to come to Diners Club, we have speakers, learn about our health and nutrition.”
8,429 Congregate Meals were served at LOA Diners Clubs last year.
Meals on Wheels
“I just can’t tell you how much these meals mean to me. I often run out of meals and I’m not able to cook. Not just the food but having someone to check on me.”
LOA Volunteers helped deliver 193,795 meals this past year. 1 in 3 Meals on Wheels sites across the country currently have waitlists of a combined total of 46,000 seniors.
And more!
Your gift to LOA will Help Us Fill The Plate of services that provide vital connections, and help our older neighbors live with dignity and health.
“I wish more people knew about LOA, what they stand for and what they do.”
“Meet the family,” says 80-year-old Jan with a smile as she puts names to the faces in the photos she proudly displays on her living room wall. Family photos fill the wall, but she has lived alone since her husband Duane passed away 15 years ago.
LOA services fill the gap for the help she needs to continue to live independently at home. “I wish more people knew about LOA, what they stand for and what they do,” says Jan. She especially appreciates the transportation services she receives. “I need rides to my doctor appointments because I can’t change buses or cross traffic like I used to.”
Jan also receives Meals on Wheels, Senior Food Boxes, and participates in the senior holiday gift program. She turned to LOA during one of the most difficult times of her life. “When my youngest son passed away I went to them for legal help. More people need to know what LOA has to offer.”
Help Us Fill the Plate of services so Jan and other seniors in our community are cared for and empowered to live their best lives, longer!
