HOSPITALITY AT HOME
Hospitality at Home is a presence-based ministry sustained by committed and caring volunteers offering friendship and supportive services to assist in the alleviation of isolation and loneliness of seniors age 70 and older. As the program continues to develop, we are finding that the least of the least from this population are often those who struggle with self-neglect. Therefore, we work directly with agencies, such as Adult Protective Services and CREVAA, to identify individuals who can benefit from our program. Within this program, we also offer special treats for birthdays and other holidays as well as a volunteer-based home maintenance program to assist with light household repairs in partnership with the Jewish Federation. We are a referral-based ministry but please feel free to reach out if you need support in identifying resources for yourself or a loved one.
