LIFE ElderCare is a local non-profit that provides free services & support for Alameda County seniors. If you are 60+ and have no one to help you during the lockdown, LIFE can connect you with your local Meals on Wheels, deliver groceries from the food bank (bags delivered as-is; no specific requests or substitutions), match you with a volunteer “phone buddy”, or help out with other essential support. LIFE ElderCare can also help deliver bags of groceries from the South Hayward Parish or other local food banks.
