What's your LEGACY?

With our community programs - *VOLUNTEERS* are at the heart of everything we do. Their gifts (and the gifts from all supportive donors!) make our community better.

We've done the research - and we're excited to share THE recipe for a legacy you can be proud of:

*Start with 1 cup of *hope*.
*Add several 3-4 heaping scoops of *faith in your neighbors*.
*Add a pinch of *persistence*.
*Next - realize your *acts of kindness* can have a lasting impact.

*Mix your ingredients while reflecting on positive thoughts.
*Pour this into your hands or dump it on your head... Trust us with this... It will feel good :)

Next --> put this in the **oven of your heart** for one hour OR several days (you'll know how much time is needed...).

Finally -->Donate some comfortable amount of green $$ to activate the power of your example. Do that here: https://www.carenewhaven.org/donate

At this point - we're confident you'll be feeling proud! IF NOT --> here's the antidote...
--> Go speak with a young person about their dreams and get involved with the community as a volunteer.

This , your generosity helps IVCG continue connecting older adults with the compassionate support they need to live safely, independently, and with dignity.

Our mission is to combat loneliness, build community, and help seniors age in place with confidence. With a goal of raising $2,000, your gift strengthens the vital services we offer—from RIDES to medical appointment, to delivering meals through Food Force with our partner Loaves & Fishes, New Haven, offering DME with Mae's Closet, and much more.

Every contribution, big or small, fuels our mission and brightens the lives of the neighbors we serve. It’s simple, heartfelt, and a powerful way to grow our community of care.

Follow this link: https://www.carenewhaven.org/donate to make your donation—and help us keep compassion moving. 💛

As always, we thank you for your support.
