Each day, seniors from our community reach out to United Way’s 211 Service because they have needs that other nonprofit organizations cannot meet. We spoke with Linda Hafner from 211, and she told us how they help seniors with items such as appliances, air conditioning, home repairs, and food when no one else can help them. Because of the generosity of our CAMEO members, we have surplus funds in the amount of $5,000 that can be provided to the United Way for a special CAMEO Seniors Fund. The United Way would have complete discretion on how to appropriate the funds, and CAMEO would receive a report of how the funds were used to make a difference in the lives of seniors.
