The Adult Fund
"Getting the refrigerator meant a whole lot to me. It meant I could put my groceries into my refrigerator every day and have fresh groceries. It meant I could get my Meals on Wheels back again. It was a blessing for me. Thank you." -Adult Fund recipient

The Adult Fund makes it possible for clients of Aging and Adult Services with limited resources to obtain items and services for quality of life improvement and/or independence.
