A new charitable organization called Seniors In Need is offering to help seniors struggling financially. “I am hopeful it will change a lot of people’s lives, improve their lives,” says Peter Cook, the organization’s founder.

The service is essentially a registry of seniors in need of help, as identified by non-profit organizations. The agencies’ requests for support on behalf of the seniors are posted on the Seniors In Need website, where people willing to help can read their stories and send a note about how they might be able to help.

While the organization isn’t a registered charity and can’t issue tax receipts, it does offer a way to connect directly to the sponsoring agency and the donor, eliminating administration costs. This means that the entire amount of each donation goes to the intended recipient.

The organizers of Seniors In Need say they will only accept submissions from credible and reputable agencies working in the community, and they will review every application to make sure the submission is credible.
