Thank you for investing in care for seniors this year. As we continue to advocate for older people in Arkansas, we rely on your support more than ever as the need is continuing to grow despite stagnant funding. 10,000 people are turning 65 in the United States every day.
Moving into 2022, CareLink plans to:
- Expand the number of older people receiving meals through Meals on Wheels
- Grow the number of people receiving care through HomeCare
- Increase awareness about services
- Continue striving to meet the needs of seniors through programs like Urgent Needs, Transportation, and Bone Appétit
We are so thankful for your loyal support and trust in us. Thank you for all you do for seniors in Central Arkansas.
