medical, home care, transportation, and other support services for
frail seniors, which allows eligible seniors to live at home, for
as long as possible. The nonprofit also provides health programs,
wellness classes, activities, case management services and meals
for active seniors.
While the in-person gala is currently sold out, interested
parties can be added to the ticket waitlist by emailing

Additionally, interested persons can help On Lok support seniors
by making a donation. Donation levels range and support the
purchase and delivery of remote activity kits for seniors,
enrollment for a senior in a six-week chronic disease
self-management workshop, virtual programs for seniors to prevent
social isolation, and the delivery of 300 hot and nutritious meals
to homebound seniors. For additional information and to donate
