Local Organization Receives Grant to Help Hawaii’s Seniors 

HONOLULU, Hawaii  The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation has awarded a $12,500 grant to Giving Back, a local organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of Hawaii’s seniors. Honolulu Home Instead Senior Care franchise owners, Paul and Sherry Dziuban, presented the donation to Giving Back during a June 21 ceremony held at Kahului Union Church on Maui. Giving Back will use the donation to provide services to more than 1,000 seniors in need of assistance by helping them meet their physical, emotional and social needs. It is one of nine organizations awarded grant funding from The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation in 2011. “Our missions are very similar to Giving Back as we both help enhance the lives of older adults,” said Roger H. Baumgart, Executive Director of The Foundation. “We are pleased to provide grant funding to Giving Back for making a positive difference in the safety, well-being and independence of seniors,” Baumgart said. In 1994, Lori and Paul Hogan founded Home Instead Senior Care, an international company of independently owned and operated franchises, to provide non-medical care for seniors. As a means to further enhance the lives of older adults, going above and beyond the scope of this organization, The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation was established in 2003. The Home Instead Senior Care Foundation has awarded 98 grants throughout the United States and Canada since 2004. To learn more about The Foundation, visit www.homeinsteadseniorcarefoundation.org.
