Foundation, will present a program on "What Assistance is Available
for Caregivers in Danger of Losing Their Home." Preregistration is
required, and lunch will be provided. There is no charge to attend.

Informal caregivers are those unpaid individuals such as family
members, friends and neighbors who provide assistance to someone who
is to some degree incapacitated and in need of help with tasks such
as grocery shopping, bill paying, cooking or personal care.
Grandparents or other relatives raising grandchildren are those who
have accepted primary responsibility for raising one or more
children through age 18.
