Hands Up Together!
Tickets are ON SALE NOW for Hands Up Together 2023 presented by The Lucille Beeson Trust of Canterbury UMC and Medical Properties Trust. Join Chairs Anne Warren & Robert Levin for a celebration of our Personal Care special anniversary.
In 2003, start-up funding from the Lucille Beeson Trust at Canterbury UMC enabled CJFS to launch our Personal Care program, which began by serving 10 clients and has grown over the decades to serve as many as 150 clients each year. Today, CJFS Personal Care team members visit clients for 1-4 hours each week providing bathing assistance, meal preparation, laundry service, and/or light housekeeping for an average fee around $4 per hour. These regular, friendly check-ins provide much-needed socialization, in addition to helping clients manage tasks that they could not handle alone. For 2 decades, CJFS Personal Care has provided a unique, effective solution to enable older adults to maintain their cherished independence.
Celebrate the countless ways this program has helped our community over the past 20 years at Hands Up Together 2023!
