We fulfill this mission by providing or connecting clients to transportation, translation/interpretation, supportive and stabilizing services as well as providing health care education, outreach, and enrollment services to East African immigrant communities. Services are targeted to individuals in the Twin Cities Metro Area who are low-income, age 60 and older, and have limited English speaking ability.
