Your Gift Makes a Difference for a Brighter Tomorrow
Whether it’s providing emergency financial assistance to a mom looking to escape an abusive relationship, providing a nourishing kosher lunch to older adults at the Center for Senior Enrichment or ensuring our Geriatric In-Home counselors are able to continue working with older adults so they can live independently with dignity for as long as possible – your gift makes a difference.
When people come to us with little hope and facing desperate circumstances, your support allows us to restore hope for a brighter tomorrow through vital services.
Your donation is a lifeline for someone in need.

The maximum amount of this credit is $200 for single taxpayers or heads of household and $400 for married taxpayers.
