Charlene At 83 years old, 2020 was a year of isolation for Charlene. Most of her days consisted of daily Bible study and staying safe in her home. She’s proud of her children, proud of her career as a caseworker, and proud to have worked in the prison ministry for 25 years. As someone who has always given back to others throughout her life, she knows that “No matter what you do in life, or how much education you have, everyone has a time in life where they need a little help.” When her husband passed away, everything fell on her, and when Central Community House lent out a helping hand, she said “I was very glad to take it.” The area that she lives in has changed a lot over the years, and she wishes she knew more of her neighbors, especially during a year when it has been more difficult to find a sense of community. She believes that it is “more important now than ever” for Central to remain involved in the community. Charlene knows that seniors in the area need consistent help from organizations like Central, which she describes as “enlightening." According to Charlene “I didn’t know there was any organization that would do as much for me as Central has done.” We are grateful that Charlene is a fierce advocate for Central, and spreads the word about senior programming. She stated “If more seniors could just get a copy of the senior newsletter, there would be so many people calling, your phone would be ringing off the hook!”
