Online Giving

Donations are needed to support ElderCare of Alachua County services.

As a non-profit organization, your contributions provide direct support for the ElderCare programs that help those in need. Without donor support, we could not provide the many services that we do. Last year alone, donor and volunteers helped provide over 100,000 hot lunches and many thousands of transportation trips and telephone reassurance calls to help the elderly. Through your help, seniors are able to avoid illness and loneliness with increased independence and a better quality of life.
