A volunteer-based, non-profit organization founded to empower

where we want to be as we age.

Contact Us
Our group came together because we want to stay in our own
homes as we get older, and we want others in Yakima and Selah
to have the option to stay in their homes and thrive.
We are creating a network to make that possible.
