Retire United

Retire United brings together donors who are in or near retirement and passionate about supporting the basic needs of seniors in our community, helping them enjoy a successful and safe retirement. We believe in the principle of ‘Seniors helping Seniors’ and advocate for groups making a difference in seniors’ lives. We do this while making new friends and becoming more knowledgeable about navigating retirement.

“Seeing the impact that you have in other people’s lives. Even if it’s an hour at a time, you get to see an impact, and you meet the people there that you are impacting. It makes me feel good – it's something I enjoy doing.”
