Someone has a twin or full bed available for the elderly gentleman. One is located in Hagerstown near the airport, and the other is in WV. Can anyone assist with getting one of these to the elderly gentleman?

Sean Flaherty, running for Councilperson, attended a morning meeting with The Elder Group to share his vision for senior citizens. Our nonpartisan organization aims to facilitate dialogue with each candidate to understand their stance on issues impacting our community.

We need a soldout Adult Senior Prom. The Elder Group is on a mission to open a senior citizen safe house for displaced seniors with little or no income. The winter months become hectic for The Elder Group receiving calls from the ER, and the Sheriff's Department because our senior citizens misuse emergency transportation to the hospital because they have no place to stay. Please support our cause through donations, or ticket sales.

Today is Elder Abuse Awareness Day!

This important day sheds light on the critical issue of elder abuse and emphasizes the need to protect and empower our senior community members.

We are proud to share that the The Elder Group will be at today’s Black Economic Empowerment Summit. The Elder Group, a dedicated organization providing vital services to seniors in our community, plays a pivotal role in advocating for the rights and well-being of our elderly population.

Elder abuse is an unfortunate reality that affects countless seniors, both physically and emotionally. It is our responsibility as a community to join forces and take a stand against this injustice. By raising awareness about elder abuse, we can work together to prevent and address this issue and ensure that our elderly community members live with dignity, respect, and safety.

The Washington County NAACP encourages everyone to check in on the Elders you know and love. Volunteer in spaces that serve the seniors in our community and advocate for services such as Meals on Wheels to be funded.

Let's stand united against elder abuse and work towards a brighter future for our senior community.

The Elder Group remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the well-being of our community's senior citizens and displaced individuals. We are grateful for the trust and acceptance we have received as we work towards our mission of eradicating hunger and providing essential support for those in need.
