Hearts and Hands receives $5,000 From GiveOrcas

Thanks to all of you who supported Orcas Senior Center Nonprofit’s Hearts and Hands program via the amazing charitable giving platform that is Orcas Island Community Foundation’s GiveOrcas! We raised $5,050 from 98 donors, greatly assisted by the over 150 people who obligingly sat for photographs in our “settee campaign” and the countless more who “shared” and “liked” our photos and mission. This generous support, so deeply appreciated, will help Hearts and Hands continue to foster mutually rewarding in-home relationships between caring community member volunteers and our elderly and disabled adult friends and neighbors!
