May Is Older Americans Month.
HESSCO appreciates the countless contributions that older adults make in our communities. Your time, experience, and talents benefit families and makes a real difference in the lives of individuals every day. This year’s theme highlights the difference everyone can make in the lives of older adults, in support of caregivers, and to strengthen communities.
Thank you for your many contributions!
Please save the Date! On Tuesday, May 5th HESSCO will be participating in Giving Tuesday Now. This day of giving will support organizations, such as HESSCO who have responded to the unprecedented needs caused by COVID-19.
Our Meals on Wheels program continues to deliver hot, nutritious meals daily. We have recently experienced a 66% increase in home delivered meal requests. HESSCO is supplying additional frozen and shelf-stable meals for our consumers. The unanticipated expense of masks, gloves and hand sanitizers needed daily for our volunteers is significant. Please consider making a donation to HESSCO on Giving Tuesday, May 5, 2020.
Please view our Thank You video. Our heart is full of thanks - for our staff, our volunteers and our community! www.youtube.com/watch?v=71QwXPX2rCU
