Triangle Gives Back recently spotlighted A Helping Hand in an article examining some of the services and programs that AHH provides to the community. Read the article here.
Triangle Gives Back is a regional initiative designed to increase charitable giving and community engagement in the Triangle.
Lucille E. is A Helping Hand’s most senior client. Her niece, Vermelle, writes from South Carolina expressing her gratitude:
“My aunt has outlived many of her friends and those who would have offered her support. She had no children and there are no relatives who live nearby. Your organization has improved the quality of Lucille’s life immeasurably and allowed her to stay in her home of more than 60 years. She would not be where she is, doing the things that she does, without the assistance of A Helping Hand.”
“A Helping Hand is an integral link in our support net. Our companions are
our friends, lending companionship, care, safe supervision and even gentle
reminders of things that are needed around the house. The administrative
team is responsive to a changing environment and schedule.
“Happy and At Home” is the result.” – Joanne D.

We want our clients to be able to maintain a social and active life, as they define it.

A Helping Hand recently received the STAR award from the Beverly Foundation in a national competition as one of the outstanding senior transportation providers in the country.
AHH and 20 other organizations were selected out of 450 applicants. “While the selection process was exceptionally difficult, our national review committee contributed immensely in ensuring that the award recipients were the ‘best of the best’,” said the Foundation’s president, Helen Kerschner. A Helping Hand was the only organization in North Carolina to receive this unique award.
The Beverly Foundation, headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, undertakes research, education, and assistance to encourage and facilitate mobility and transportation for older adults. For more information about the Beverly Foundation and STAR Award, please visit: http://www.beverlyfoundation.org
