December 24, 2013 (El Cajon) --The Halo Community Foundation has been established, just in time for a holiday gift to help people in need in our community, Visiting Angels has announced.   The mission of the Halo Community Foundation is to provide quality in-home care to low-income individuals suffering from illnesses, disabilities, and/or physical impairments.

The Visiting Angels’ East County Office can assist low income individuals receive critical in-home care for a better quality of life.  The foundation provides care to qualified individuals based upon needs and income level free of charge. 

 In-home care is costly and many individuals on fixed incomes cannot afford the proper care resulting in falls, accidents, decreased mobility, decreased quality of life, and unfortunately death.   In addition, caring for a family member can be stressful and put a strain on family members not equipped with the training to properly care for a loved one.

The Halo Community Foundation relies on private donations from individuals, businesses, and community organizations to provide this critical service.
