Foundation started to assist seniors groups
Cerritos-based CareMore has established The CareMore Foundation, a nonprofit foundation to grant funds, resources and recognition to local senior-focused community organizations.
“There are many unmet critical health needs for seniors that go unaddressed due to a lack of resources at the community level,” said Leeba Lessin, president of CareMore and the architect of the creation of the Foundation. “The Foundation’s focus will be to identify and support those charitable organizations which are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all seniors.”
The foundation’s first project for 2011 will focus on addressing senior hunger, a major social issue for seniors in many communities.
The CareMore Foundation is currently calling for grants from senior-focused, community-based not-for profit organizations that have a direct or indirect influence on the issues of senior hunger and nutrition. The Foundation’s Advisory Committee will review all grant applications and funds will be awarded based on a priority basis for those who can demonstrate their role in helping seniors improve their quality of life with nutritional resources.
