Embracing Aging Grants Program
Embracing Aging is supported by the Hahn Home Fund, which was established through the bequest of Anna Gardner; also includes the Chester H. Thomas Fund.
Embracing Aging focuses on improving how people experience aging in York County.
Community Grants outcome:
- Social isolation of older people is reduced.
Larger Grants outcomes:
- Aging adults who want to proactively plan or change their aging experience have the knowledge and confidence to do so.
- Services and programs to help older people thrive in their homes and community are collaborative and innovative.
Our vision is to make York County a great place to age!
