Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $167,678 spent. Our Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN) Program Matches volunteers with older adults and adults with disabilities to enable them to age with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible. We accomplish this by working in cooperation with local congregations and community organizations throughout the greater Mercer County area. All of our services are non-medical and provided free of charge. In 2025, 246 volunteers provided over 13,500 hours of time, providing care giving services, with an estimated inkind value of $499,465
  2. $82,500 spent. Our AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) carefully recruits and trains volunteers 55+. Our Volunteers are then trained to lead our wellness program or matched with care receivers. Our program enables our volunteers to gain the benefits of volunteering: Pride in community, social interaction, and a sense of meaning that in turn supports their own healthy aging. In 2025, we had 164 qualified RSVP volunteers supporting our NHN and PHB programs.
  3. $63,907 spent. Our project Healthy Bones (PHB) program is a free osteoporosis prevention exercise and education program for seniors. It is designed to improve strength, balance and flexibility. PHB participants learn about the importance of exercise, nutrition, safety, drug therapy & lifestyle factors that relate to osteoporosis. Another important benefit of the program is the opportunity for social engagement of its participants. In 2025, the program had 216 participants at various locations throughout the greater Mercer County Area.
