Monterey, CA Mothers & Daughters Get Together To Help Senior Citizens

It was great to see the title of the story on the front page of the Monterey Herald was “Helping Others : Mothers and Daughters work to make life better through philanthropy.” Our Platinum sponsors, Alliance Home Healsh and Family inHome Caregiving, do try to make the day-to-day lives of seniors better, for a profit, but we are also involved in a number of charities including raising over $100,000 for the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.  I also serve as the president of Hands to Help Seniors, a local non-profit which is trying to fill the void for senior services not covered by other non-profits or government assistance programs such as dental work.  The story today was about mothers and daughters getting together this past weekend for the National Charity Initiative Day which was sponsored by the Monterey Bay chapter of the National Charity League.  The group asks for a six year commitment for mothers and daughters who got together to do great things including making 24 pans of lasagna and making 40 fleece blankets to donate to Dorothy’s Place in Salinas.  The latter is a great non-profit which houses many homeless senior women.
