YOUR yearly membership dollars will allow our staff to continue serving older adults and others in need in rural Cass County.  These are some of the ways YOUR membership dollars will make a difference in rural Cass:

• An elderly woman receives rides to her medical appointments.  In 2019, your donations assisted our Volunteer Coordinator to facilitate 28,264 miles of transportation to medical appointments.  Our transportation program was suspended for 8 months of 2020 due to Covid-19.  During the months we provided transportation, volunteers provide 7,420 miles of transportation bringing older adults to medical appointments
• A retired couple receives help completing a fuel assistance form to help keep them warm during a cold North Dakota winter.
• Local residents participate in exercise classes, where they improve their strength and balance while enjoying socialization.
• Local residents meet with our Care Coordinator to review their Medicare Part D drug plan.  In 2020, our Care Coordinator and two trained volunteers provided socially distant Part D appointments in our Arthur and Casselton offices.  They served 315 individuals.  The total savings for clients during open enrollment was $81,940 dollars, an average of $260 dollars per client.  
• An elderly gentleman receives a visit from our Faith Community Nurse to discuss his medical condition
