Morris’s fund will provide support for seniors in need of food, rent/utility assistance, counseling, and referrals for other resources. Baby boomers are projected to increase exponentially in the coming decades, so we see this as a long-term need. Any funds that are not utilized within the year will be placed with Metropolitan Ministries Foundation. Hope lives forever through your support. Thank you!
