Giving Matters

The Grafton County Senior Citizens Council works to support the health, dignity and independence of older adults. One way it does that is by delivering meals to home-bound elders. Dick Jaeger has been delivering meals as a volunteer since 2003.

When Mike Sproul was a teenager, he needed some positive adult role models. He found them at the Kingswood Youth Center.

The Conway Area Humane Society’s Lifelong Friends Program matches seniors with appropriate pets. Frank Meserve got his dog, Molly, through that program.
