With Your Support We Persevere.
Many people we serve have complicated health issues and will not be returning to their typical daytime programs or work anytime soon. We are being extra cautious.
During this crisis, it is very encouraging that you are thinking of us. Your support means the world to the people we serve and our caregivers.
Hammer caregivers are making incredible sacrifices like so many of you, to care for both their own families and our Hammer family.
We are spending whatever is needed on medical supplies, personal protection equipment and overtime to keep those we serve safe.
We need your financial support right now to help our most vulnerable citizens. With your donation, together, we will get through this.
