Too many older adults in our community are in crisis right now. They are struggling to afford food on fixed incomes, facing new health challenges, and dealing with isolation and loneliness that take a toll on their mental and physical health.

JSSA has always been a lifeline for neighbors in need, and we are rising to meet the moment with care that allows older adults to age at home with dignity, independence, and hope. But we need the help of our community to do it.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 by October 15 to strengthen our supportive programs for older adults, including meal delivery, transportation, compassionate home care, social programs, support for those in the early stages of dementia, and more.

Your gift brings us one step closer to our goal and will touch the lives of so many neighbors who are reaching out for help at the most vulnerable times in their lives.
