In the first 100 days of the Shelter in Place order, Self-Help for the Elderly delivered over 300,000 meals to seniors in the Bay Area so they could stay safe at home in this pandemic. With increased demand, we are incurring significant costs beyond normal operating budget. By joining this virtual fitness fundraiser, you can help us raise critical funds for the organization.
