Background
Our elders can be a source of information, history, happiness, and tradition. However, older adults do not always receive the fair treatment they deserve.
1 in 8 Americans are senior citizens. It's easy to overlook such simple tasks as going shopping at the grocery store or taking the dog for a walk, but for the elderly population this can be impossible without the help of others. And when help isn't available, it can be difficult to live a normal life.
There are over 27,000 nonprofits working to support seniors. Volunteer with organizations that advocate for the rights and needs of the elderly at nursing homes, offer transportation for seniors, and help them care for their pets.
