On June 21 — the summer solstice — people across the world will participate in activities to commemorate The Longest Day. Together, the strength of our light will outshine the darkness of Alzheimer’s.
Save the Date! The fourth annual #GIVE65 Event – a program of the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation – kicks off July 9 and runs through July 11.
We’re raising funds for our Emergency / Holiday Meals Program. Help us reach $5,000 in matching funds! Last year, as a result of your generosity and efforts, $4,925 was collected in donations, yet HESSCO received over $17,000 combined from donations, matching funds and awards!
Saturday, June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. We need everyone to educate each other about the impact of elder abuse and the pervasiveness of ageism in our culture.
