2024 Annual Report

Hello, and thanks to all of our clients, volunteers, and donors!

I am proud of our dedicated staff and volunteers who serve hundreds of seniors every week across the seven-county Twin Cities area. Each team member cares deeply for our clients’ well-being, helping them to remain independent in their homes. From board members to client connectors, drivers, grocery shoppers, and home support helpers, we have made 35,888 meaningful connections with seniors in 2024.

We should all be proud of the vital role  Help At Your Door plays in our community. Aging is a shared human experience, and our services are even more critical as our population grows older. While we are all inherently dependent on others, aging often subjects us to circumstances that make support essential to remain independent. I am, of course, humbled by the wisdom and insights of our clients. As one tenacious senior said, “I’m eighty years old and have the right to make up my mind, eat what I want to eat, and live where I want to as long as I can.” She can do this only with all of our help.

In the year ahead, we are committed to enhancing our services. We will focus on improving our grocery technology, increasing the number of personal rides, conducting home safety checks, and continuing to provide help beyond food deliveries, rides, and home assistance. Our goal is to foster meaningful connections that combat social isolation and offer peace of mind to older adults and their caregivers —helping seniors live independently for as long as possible.

Thanks to everyone for your past and future support of Help At Your Door. Because of you, the well-being of our community’s growing senior population remains our top priority.

– Karen Cotch, Executive Director
