At the Hoodland Senior Center, we’ve been able to achieve so much — and it’s all thanks to awesome donors like YOU! We’re beyond grateful for your generosity. But guess what? The journey isn’t over yet! There’s still so much more to be done, and today we’re inviting you to team up with us again in spreading some much-needed hope and joy to those who need it most. Let’s keep the good times rolling together!
As most of you may know, our center provides a wide range of services and activities, including daily meals, health and wellness programs, educational workshops and social events, all designed to support the physical, emotional and social well-being of our seniors.
Over the past year, the demand for our services has grown significantly and is expected to continue to grow. Studies show that by the year 2030, older Americans will make up 21% of the population. New census numbers show the retirement-age population is growing in all corners of Oregon. Many seniors in our community face challenges such as isolation, health issues, and financial instability. Our center strives to address these challenges by offering a safe and welcoming environment where seniors can receive the care and support they need.
However, to continue providing these essential services, we rely heavily on the generosity of individuals and organizations like yours. We are currently seeking donations to help fund our programs and ensure that no senior is left without the support they need. Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of many seniors.
Here are some examples of how your donation can help:
A $25 donation will provide a week’s worth of home delivered meals for a senior in need.
A $50 donation will help fund an activity class to help seniors stay active, social and healthy.
A $75 donation will provide a senior with a ride to their medical appointment.
A $100 donation will help support the Hoodland Senior Center with operational costs ensuring seniors have access to resources and care they need.
We greatly appreciate any support you can provide, whether it is a one-time donation or a recurring pledge. Every dollar makes an impactful difference and brings us closer to our goal of creating a healthy, vibrant, and supportive community for our seniors.
To make a donation, please visit our website at HoodlandSeniorCenter.org or mail your contribution to Hoodland Senior Center at P. O. Box 508 Welches, OR 97067.
Got questions or want to learn more about all the amazing things your donation helps make possible? We’d love to chat! Reach out to Carianne Stearns at 503-622-3331 or shoot us an email at Hoodlandseniors1@gmail.com. We’re excited to connect and share the impact you’re making!
