Lori's Hands
Services to Seniors$24,275
Lori’s Hands serves as a bridge between community members with chronic illness and college
students who provide practical assistance to support independent living for these community
members and who in turn learn about the community members’ life and health experiences.
Lori’s Hands established its Baltimore program in 2022 to provide free in-home support to
chronically ill older adults, 90% of which are women with limited support and financial resources.
By partnering with 10 area universities, they provide college students, trained and supervised by
LH, who visit weekly, helping with such tasks as shopping, housework, and companionship.
Fifty percent of LH clients report a decrease in isolation and loneliness. Our funding will support
program expansion by helping to defray the costs of background checks, training and insurance.
