Whether you've sent a letter to Congress or attended our Hill Day, you know the importance that federal programs can have on ensuring our ability to age well.

It's a sad truth that 9 million older adults are missing out on the benefits for which they are eligible. Our recent research verified what we see far too often - too many people choosing between paying for bills, medicine, or food.

We know we can do better with your help for people like John whose challenges are very close to home.

On a surprise visit home, John's daughter noticed that he had lost more than a few pounds. She decided to cook for him and discovered his food supply was low. It turns out that after paying most of his bills, John didn't have much money left for food. While she took him grocery shopping, she knew her 75-year-old father needed a sustainable solution. She found an NCOA partner who helped enroll John in SNAP benefits. Now John is no longer worried about where his next meal will come from. His daughter can rest assured knowing that her father has the resources he needs.

You can help us build a better future - today

You can amplify your voice by making NCOA a charity of choice with your gift today. With your gift, we can continue supporting our network of Benefits Enrollment Centers. These vital community organizations and our other resources and digital tools help people like John find financial relief and afford healthy food which is key to maintaining good health while aging. Thanks to a generous group of donors, gifts of $50 or more that are received by November 30 will be matched 1:1 - doubling the impact of your gift.
