I have been thinking about the wonderful support and care seniors are given in the Hampton Roads communities with Task Force on Aging chapters throughout the community. I belong to 3: Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake and expanding my work to include Portsmouth, Williamsburg and Newport News.
The Task Forces on Aging are comprised of caring business people whose focus is on taking care of the needs of seniors throughout the year. There are people representing Independent and Assisted Living facilities, Senior Centers, Hospice, Senior Olympics, Financial industry, health and wellness, exercise and diet, clean water, burglar alarms, home health care to name a few.
The members also volunteer their time to raise money and services for seniors in needs: Ramps Across America, Food for Needy Seniors, Clothing for Needy Seniors. During the holiday season, there are many fundraisers to support these causes. We walk to find a cure for Alzheimer's, Breast Cancer, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and more.
I've researched other states where friends are living who are interested in being part of such a Task Force on Aging, and could not locate others outside of this area. I'm honored and happy to be part of this huge caring family.
