For more than 35 years, the mission of Atwater Area Help for Seniors has remained the same as it was when the program began in 1988: to support elders and their caregivers in Atwater and the surrounding townships, so seniors may stay in their home and in their community as long as safely possible.

In 2024, 326 people were served by 110 volunteers. Volunteers provided 6,915 hours of service, including 1,220 in-person & phone visits and 139 chore services; and drove 17,374 miles to transport seniors, provide services, and make deliveries, including 2,724 hot noon meals. Additionally, 489 congregate dining meals were served; and 32 people utilized medical equipment from our free loan program.

About 100 people attended the AAHFS 2024 Wellness Expo & Flu Shot Clinic and visited with almost 30 exhibitors from a variety of services focused on seniors. For more highlights from the expo and a complete list of vendors, visit our Events page.
