vehicles, warehouses and people that make relief possible.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Over the next few decades, the growth of the 65+ population will outpace every other age category
in Michigan. Many seniors who contact us are functioning below the poverty line and their needs for
crucial programs and services are immediate. Our traditional funding sources do not and will not
keep pace with growing senior needs. Currently, we connect nearly 40,000 callers to programs and
services through our Information and Assistance Line, help close to 3,000 seniors and adults with
disabilities find affordable transportation and connect approximately 20,000 Medicare beneficiaries
with free counseling. We fund home-delivered meals for roughly 11,000 seniors and touch the lives
of over 120,000 individuals. Your gift helps us provide seniors with needed guidance, resources,
and support. Make an impact today by: donating (aaa1b.org/donate or mail a check), sponsoring a
fundraising event, donating a raffle item or volunteering.
