The event is the nonprofit agency’s yearly fundraiser to help provide services for senior citizens in Sussex County. Proceeds will help expand and diversify a wide range of services and programs supporting healthy and active lifestyles for adults 50 years old and above, plus provide support for their family members and caregivers. Providing one week of healthful meals to a homebound senior takes $63; $120 provides one week of housekeeping services for a senior; and $40 provides one week of transportation for a senior. The total weekly cost to help support a senior in their own home with adequate nutrition, clean living environment and connection to their community is $223.
