Abuse can happen to any older person. This new infographic from the National Institute on Aging at NIH describes the different types of abuse, how to recognize the signs, and where to get help.
Are you committed to older adult ministry in your church? If so, here are a few questions for you to ponder:
Tap-to-pay is quick and easy. Many of us use it every day with our cards or phones. But the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning people this holiday season about a new scam that takes advantage of this technology. It’s called “ghost tapping,” and it can charge your card without you even noticing.
The Fred and June Blankenship Grant for Individual Assistance made a profound difference in the life of Valegia Wilson Tidwell, a beloved member of the Glencliff community.
The ENCORE Ministry Foundation provided a grant to First United Methodist in Columbia, Tennessee, to help fund their feeding ministry, the People’s Table. Since 2004, the People’s Table ministry serves meals to neighbors in need every Tuesday evening and Friday afternoon, providing nourishment, love, and hope to the homeless, elderly, families, and individuals struggling to make ends meet. However, the need in the community is growing. With the closure of a local battery plant and reductions in SNAP benefits, more families are facing food insecurity.
Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, feeding the hungry, caring for the vulnerable, and showing love to those who need it most. Every dollar you give to the Kent and Ellen McNish Fund for Older Adult Food Security helps feeding ministries stretch resources and serve more meals to those in need. Donate today and help support life-changing feeding ministries like the People’s Table.
