About the Charity

Programs that keep older people active, healthy, and engaged are fundamental to aging well. NNV believes that small touches make a big difference. With the help of trained volunteers, it provides social, cultural, and wellness programs for over 800 older adults annually. In between events, volunteers also support NNV members with practical tasks. As they ride along to medical appointments, assist with computers, and do grocery shopping, they build meaningful relationships that help members feel less isolated. Staff are on call when members need help, especially with medical challenges and life transitions, and a case manager ensures they can access other aging services. Support groups for members and caregivers strengthen this sense of community. For many participants who are aging alone with limited family support, the NNV network is a lifeline.
