“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.<br />
It’s the life in your years.”<br />
With the aging Baby Boom generation, the demand for services for older<br />
Americans continues to increase. The <strong>Salvation</strong> <strong>Army</strong> is prepared to meet the<br />
needs of the elderly when no one else will care for them.<br />
We operate two apartment complexes where 215 low-income senior citizens can<br />
live independently. Through our Community Care Ministries, we personally visit<br />
lonely people in nursing homes, hospitals and other facilities throughout the year.<br />
We also offer weekday fellowship groups where seniors can maintain a sense of<br />
connection to others by participating in crafts, ceramics, sewing, dominoes, games,<br />
exercise, sing-alongs, dancing, and listening to guest speakers.<br />
