Because of the aging baby boomer population, we are seeing and projecting exponential growth of those served by 50 North. Currently there are 20,016 seniors in Hancock County, and there are 900 adults turning 65 each year!
Whether you choose to give financially or give with your time and talents, your gift makes a difference for the seniors of our community.
