Highlights:
One of our most utilized programs is assisted transportation to medical appointments to Duluth and Two Harbors. Our volunteer helps the participant in and out of the vehicle and frequently attends the appointment with them. In the past year, 54 seniors received a total of 269 rides to Duluth provided by 22 different volunteers. Transportation is frequently cited by seniors and local providers as the number one need in the region, and we are happy that our program can help address this need affordably.
Chore Days we do in collaboration with the Two Harbors High School, AGE to age, and other businesses. The Minnesota Community Education Association just awarded our Chore Day “Project of the year” 2018.
The geographic area served includes the city of Two Harbors, the area along the shore from Knife River to the Gooseberry River and the area up to five miles inland from Two Harbors.
One full-time staff, three-part time staff provide overall service coordination for the program, however, we rely on volunteers to make many services possible.
We were awarded non-profit of the year 2018 by our local Two Harbors Area Chamber of Commerce.
