Since 1998, the nonprofit program has served all seniors, age 60 and older, who live in McHenry County or Sun City Huntley. Its mission is to help seniors maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life by remaining in their own homes or the home of a loved one for as long as possible.

Volunteers help achieve this mission by providing services such as transportation to life-sustaining as well as life-enriching destinations, friendly visits, minor home repairs, yard work and short-term respite care all at no charge to the senior.
