What we do for Seniors
Families and the community benefit when seniors are able to stay safely in their own homes.
Why our mission matters
The population of 65+ has increased by 10% over the past 4 years - from 99,000 seniors to 109,000.
The average monthly mortgage is under $1,000. The average monthly cost to stay in a nursing home is $7,500.
How we improve the health and safety of seniors
United Way founded the Alliance on Aging
– the number one collective impact model for healthy aging in the country.

Meals on Wheels Helps me to Stay Independent
"I am unable to cook meals on my own. I am in a wheelchair. Meals on Wheels helps me to be able to stay independent in my home. I look forward to seeing them and would miss them if Meals on Wheels did not come."
