United Way plays a vital role in our community. This year six Orcas Island organizations received a total of over $20,000 in funding. Thank you, United Way, for your generous support of Hearts and Hand. Your assistance is crucial in helping the Senior Center aid elderly and disabled community members.

Hearts and Hands has been a program of the Senior Center for four years now. Our volunteers meet weekly with their recipient to offer assistance and friendship. Friendly visits, help with errands, transportation, light housekeeping and meal preparation are ways in which we help people maintain their independence and quality of life. Our volunteers are grateful for the lessons in living they receive. In the last nine months they have given over 1,200 hours of service. United Way cares about our seniors and those with disabilities.
