Aging, Redefined!

Thank you for considering a gift to Bacoa.
Your kindness changes lives — providing meals, care, and connection for older adults who might otherwise be alone.

Last year, 2,900 people found hope through Bacoa’s programs. Mary was one of them. After losing her husband, she found new purpose and friendships through our virtual events — her calendar now full of circles and smiles.

Your generosity helps people like Mary live with dignity, joy, and independence.

Thank you for making that possible.

Sue McNamara, Director in Charge
