The Elderly: The elderly are a particularly vulnerable population<br />
group. Age, sickness, lack of language abilities and insufficient<br />
family support can make their golden years difficult. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
supports programs whose mission is to help this population, like<br />
Ken Lazaken (Grey Action), an organization that advocates for the<br />
rights of the elderly, various programs that support Holocaust survivors,<br />
visits to the elderly who are homebound and renovation of senior<br />
centers. Below are some of the <strong>Foundation</strong>'s major investments in<br />
this area:<br />
