In Service of Seniors Ride Along With Linda
It was a rainy, dreary day. However, that didn’t keep Gregg from sharing some sunshine on Linda’s afternoon. The NHCO In Service of Seniors Projects Coordinator took the slightly feisty and very lovable 79 year old out shopping. For her, a ride to the store is essential for food and other necessities, but socializing is a very close second.
NHCO's In Service of Seniors Program celebrated 30 years in May, 2024.
