Embracing Aging Grants Program

York County Community Foundation’s Hahn Home Fund for Women supports Embracing Aging. This fund carries on the vision of donor, Anna Gardner, who died in 1913 and left her estate to support the care of older women living in the Hahn Home.  Now, over 110  years later, her legacy lives on through Embracing Aging. The Chester H. Thomas Fund also supports the work of Embracing Aging.
