At 80 years old, Mr. Lloyd was just barely getting by. His Social Security check was stretched thin by mortgage and utility costs. Rising grocery prices were making things worse. 

“I’ve never had to ask for help before,” he told us. “But I just need some relief.” 

Thanks to the support of compassionate individuals like you, we were able to guide Mr. Lloyd through his SNAP application, and he was approved to receive the help he needed. 

“Now I have a little breathing room and  I’m excited to buy better food,” he said.

Your generosity makes stories like Mr. Lloyd’s possible, yet we know there are so many more older adults who need our help.

Today, 27 million Americans lack financial security and 15% of older adults live in poverty. With rising costs for housing, utilities, groceries, and health care, millions of older adults like Mr. Lloyd are being forced to make impossible choices every day.

By making NCOA your charity of choice, we can change this narrative by creating the conditions necessary for everyone to age well with health, independence, and financial security.

What’s more, thanks to NCOA’s Board your gift of $75 or more will be matched dollar for dollar doubling your impact for older adults like Mr. Lloyd.

Will you join us in making a difference?

Thank you for standing with us and with older adults nationwide to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to age well.
