Hands To Help Seniors Announces Fundraiser At Bernardus Lodge on September 27, Elegant Eats & Divine Treats

by Richard Kuehn on 09/12/12

Hands to Help Seniors, a non-profit agency located in Monterey, CA is committed to serve the growing need of seniors seeking financial help in Monterey County.  Founded by Richard Kuehn, the owner of Family inHome Caregiving of Monterey--a company which provides services to help seniors remain in their own homes and independent--Hands to Help Seniors is now here to help those who can't afford to stay in their own homes and remain independent.  It is providing a breadth and depth of services which is unprecedented for a non-profit, from putting a new roof on a senior's home to helping them with hospital bills. 

 

H2HS has set the date of September 27 for its gala event, Elegant Eats & Divine Treats.  This will be held at Bernardus Lodge at 415 West Carmel Valley Road in Carmel Valley with a wine reception and silent auction at 5:30 where elegant senior models will show off auction items.  This will be followed by a 3-course dinner where Hands To Help Seniors will explain their vision for helping seniors in financial need all over the Monterey Peninsula.  Tickets are $150 and can be purchased at www.h2hs.org/event.html.

 

We are here to help and hopefully alleviate some of the problems that seniors have suffered from recently after a rash of budget cuts to senior services at both the state and federal levels.  In order to carry out our mission, we need your support. 

 

Hands to Help Seniors provides an affordable assistance program for older individuals or couples to help them manage their needs so they may stay as independent as possible.  About 70% of seniors living on less than $18K per year in Monterey County don't qualify for public assistance, a sad situation.  Please help them if you can.

 

We are here to help.  When a potential client calls the company, if they are financially qualified, Hands to Help Seniors will arrange a meeting with the senior and his or her family to discuss what services are needed.  “The company will then determine what financial assistance is needed for them to meet their goals and provide them with an overview of how Hands to Help Seniors may be able to help,” Mr. Kuehn said.
