Respect your elders month

The lives of older adults are a montage of experiences that foster better understanding of the past, present, and future. In recognition of Older American's Month, H.A.N.D. invites you to join us in celebrating those special adults in our community who deserve our respect. For over 40 years, H.A.N.D., a nonprofit agency, has been committed to enhancing independence for the elderly and people with disabilities by providing compassionate, quality in-home care. We have great respect for those we serve and their continued gifts.

 
Here are a few ways you can be involved and possibly win a prize:

Nominate Your Elder: Tell us about an older adult you respect or has impacted your life by sending us an email or message us on Facebook. All entries submitted will be entered into a raffle for a night on the town for two!

Photograph Your Elder: Submit an original photo based on the theme of "Respect Your Elders." The submission with the most votes will have their photo publicy published!

Honor Your Elder: Make a donation in honor of/memory of a loved one.
