Extending Christ’s Compassion to New Hampshire Seniors Facing Difficult Times

The holiday season is a time of joy and reflection as we celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus. It’s also a time when we are reminded of our calling to follow in his footsteps to help the most vulnerable among us, especially our state’s rapidly growing senior population.

Right now, over 10,000 seniors are food insecure or at risk of going hungry. Nearly 25 percent of seniors live alone, facing isolation on a regular basis. These heartbreaking struggles weigh heavily on their well-being, leaving many feeling forgotten and alone.

But your gift today can change everything for seniors like:

Doris, who depends on our CareGivers program for rides to her cancer treatments and monthly food deliveries that keep her cupboards from going empty.

Berta, who leans on our Monadnock at Home program for help with basic home needs and much-needed social connections as she navigates life alone in her beloved home.

Daniel, who sees our Mental Health Counseling Services as a vital beacon of light in his life as he learns to cope with the sudden and devastating loss of his wife of 55 years.

William and Jeannie, who recently fell on hard financial times due to Jeannie’s illness. For the first time in their lives, they can’t afford heat for the winter, food or other basic necessities.

These seniors, and many others like them, are our grandparents, neighbors and friends, having shaped current and future generations. But today, they urgently need your help.

Visit cc-nh.org/parable to make your life-changing gift today. Remember: 94 cents of every dollar go back into our programs and services, and stay right here in New Hampshire, helping local seniors in need.
