Your support, as a volunteer and/or donor, is critical to the continued growth of Connections Area Agency on Aging.
Your donation means that a senior can stay at home instead of facing nursing home placement. It can allow a family caregiver the opportunity to take a break and leave care giving duties for a brief time. Your support ensures that we do not have to deny or delay services to any senior in need. Our caseload of clients is growing every month, and the population of older Iowans is increasing. With your help, we will continue to meet the needs of these challenges.
