Ny Upper Manhattan dia fonenan'ny olon-dehibe an'arivony sy ireo sisa velona amin'ny Holocaust. Many of them are struggling with trauma, food insecurity, inaccessible medical care, household chores, and other challenges.
The Y is dedicated to caring for the health and wellbeing of our older neighbors, and we continue to provide them with:
• Nourishing meals
• Stimulating classes, activities, and field trips
• Holiday celebrations and commemorative events
• Access to social services
• Transportation to medical appointments
• Light housekeeping for those too frail to handle it themselves
• And other critical services
Your generosity makes all this happen and more. That’s why your donation is essential.
Continuing services for local older adults is so important that a group of donors is matching contributions up to $5,000 till tomorrow.

As more older adults seek to age in place, the Y is expanding critical support for vulnerable older adults in our community to live out their lives with dignity.
With the generous support of the Fan Fox & Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, the Y is launching the Aging in Place Outreach Network (APON) to build a network of local community members who will be trained to recognize signs that their older neighbors could use additional help or need assistance at home.
Upon referral, the Y will provide a thorough psychological assessment, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed care. The Y may also complete a safety audit on an apartment to limit falls, help recover lost benefits after a spouse passes away, provide transportation to and from medical appointments, or deliver emergency meals.
The Y is committed to enhancing the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds in our community. With 29% of older adults in Washington Heights and Inwood living below the poverty line, your donation today can help the Y continue to be a lifeline for our vulnerable neighbors.
Donate now to make a difference and have your contribution matched dollar for dollar. Because of our generous donors and funders, we are able to care for the most vulnerable in our community. Ankasitrahanay amin-kitsimpo izay vola azonao omena.
