Today, on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we stand together to raise awareness and promote dignity, respect, and safety for older adults in our communities.

Elder abuse can take many forms - including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect - and often goes unnoticed. By learning the signs, checking in on loved ones, and speaking up, we can help create communities where older adults are valued, protected and empowered.

Wear a ribbon, wear Purple! Honor survivors of and help promote !

Family Eldercare needs volunteers to help with their annual Summer Fan Drive.

Fan Drive Office Volunteers: From May 1 to September 15, their greatest need is for volunteers at the Summer Fan Drive office. They need volunteers to distribute fans to people in need who come by the Family Eldercare office. Volunteers assist with fan sorting, warehouse/office operations, data entry, and must commit to multiple shifts.

Fan Drop-Off Event Volunteers: They need volunteers to help at their Fan Drop Off Event. Volunteers assist with directing traffic, unloading donated fans, and distributing event materials. With various locations and time slots available, volunteering is a great way to help your community stay cool and comfortable.

Delivery Drive Volunteers: From May 1 to September 15, they depend on volunteer drivers to deliver fans—free of charge—to those who need them most. Many older adults and individuals with medical or mobility challenges can’t travel to pick one up. Volunteers choose delivery routes based on their availability and pick up fans from the warehouse.
