Senior Citizen Project



For our Senior Citizen Project this year, Troy Women’s Association provided a check for $500 to SHARP (Senior Home Assistance Repair Program) in Troy.  

SHARP is a community based project to assist Troy seniors (age 60+) and physically challenged individuals, who are Troy homeowner’s, maintain their home and remain independent for a longer period of time.  It also enhances the quality of life by making homes safer and by reducing some of the stress and confusion involved in making home repairs.  The home repairs are performed by volunteers at no cost for labor to the homeowner.  Some of the money will be used to replace smoke detector batteries and install smoke detectors where needed.
