"How Can I Help Generations AAA?"
By volunteering your time and talents or by making a contribution.
Giving Opportunities
Generations AAA is dedicated to helping seniors and their caregivers. Won't you join us by partnering with your Area Agency on Aging to help support programs for senior? Now is a great time to make a tax-deductible donation.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for both individuals and businesses.
Your gift, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated.
To show our gratitude, acknowledgements of gifts made in memory or celebration will be included in the GenAge newsletter.
Volunteer to Deliver Holiday Meals To Homebound Seniors
Three Holidays to choose from:
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas December 25
New Year's Day January 1
Approximately 150 older persons depend on these hot, delivered meals during the holidays. Many do not have families to share the holidays with and cannot leave their homes because of health problems. Each meal is comprised of 1/3 of the USDA Recommended Daily Allowance for a 2,000 calorie diet. Meals include an entree, a starch, a vegetable, fruit, bread, and milk.
Those unable to volunteer their time may make a donation to help offset food costs by calling the Area Agency on Aging. A donation of $16 will provide one holiday meal for 4 people. Businesses are also encouraged to sponsor meals for one of the holidays.
The Holiday Meals Program is part of the overall AAA Nutrition Program serving nutritious, well-balanced meals to older persons. The AAA Nutrition Program fills an important gap in the community. Many older persons are facing nutrition issues such as lack of proper daily nutrition, difficulty with food preparation, and transportation issues that make it difficult to get to and from the grocery store.
Volunteers will be asked to share their time from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the chosen holiday. Meals will be picked up at Sodexho Food Service located at St. Ambrose University and delivered to homes of the seniors. Each volunteer will be assigned to 5-10 homes and will be given a route in a specific area.
