Ancianitas at Lakeside
Wisdom. Love. Hope.
People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did But people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou In the end only kindness matters. |

Who We AreWe are a group of non-paid volunteers who are providing assistance to the Ancianitas, primarily in the form of food, but also companionship.
|
Monthly Food DespensasThe home spends almost all of their income on salaries for the nurses and care givers. The need for food is compelling. Providing this food is our primary mission. We deliver food once a month.
|
CompanionshipWe visit the women once a month to deliver food and at other times bringing other groups to infuse joy into these forgotten women' lives. Their eyes light up when they see us. Every human needs to feel cared for.
|
Sally Evans visited from Canada and she sang to the Ancianitas while Weezie Burgess and Linda Harley gave hugs and held hands. We are always looking for volunteers who would be willing to go out and conduct some activity for the ladies.
|
Christmas is so much better with a warm sweater & a dollAt Christmas we held a party for the Ancianitas. All of the women got a warm sweater. We hope to do this every year.
We try to have other events for them throughout the year. Linda Harley has brought her cooking classes and they distributed jackets, dolls, adult diapers and more. |
Help Us Help the AncianitasWe need volunteers to help us deliver food to the Ancianita's home, volunteers to visit the home and spend time with the women, and of course, donations to help us continue our work.
