A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Aging Partners heard from a friend about Bev, a senior citizen in Lincoln, who was in need of help. She had no phone, internet or transportation. One of our professional caseworkers visited with Bev who was hesitant to share information. After gaining the trust of the woman, we discovered that 57% of her Social Security is going to pay for housing. Her refrigerator doesn’t work, there was no food in the home and she didn’t know where to turn for help. Aging Partners is working with her to access affordable housing, food assistance, engagement in social events and access to additional benefits that she was unaware of. This is just one example of how Aging Partners impacts the lives of many of Lincoln’s Senior Citizens in poverty every day. Seniors Foundation supports Aging Partners.
