Adopt-a-Gram Program

There is a new program that allows an individual to make a monthly contribution that will be directed to one senior. This money will be used to provide necessary food, medical care, clothing and shelter. The program has successfully helped thousands of seniors who face financial hardships. The program has also helped these seniors regain some of their dignity and confidence. The list below provides some additional information.

1. Interested individuals can become a sponsor online. This is a great way for someone to help an elderly citizen, especially if there are time restrictions and that person cannot physically spend time with a needy senior.

2. The monthly donations will go to a senior who is unable to support themselves. Many of these seniors have family members who cannot support them.

3. Some seniors who cannot support themselves are found abandoned on the streets.

4. The actual donation will go to an organization that is very involved with assisting the elderly. Some of the organizations include St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army.

5. Some of these seniors are living on their own, but many are residing in an institution because of their inability to provide for themselves.

6. Each organization will make decisions on how the money will be used. The funds will always be used to the best advantage of the senior in need.
