Aging Matters Needs Your Help

Aging Matters, also known as the Southeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging, is a not-for-profit organization serving the older adults in Southeast Missouri.

We proudly provide meals, transportation, caregiver support, and vital resources to help older adults stay healthy, independent, and connected. Every year, we connect with over 31,000 older adults and caregivers across our 18-county region in Southeast Missouri.

When funding falls short,

older adults feel the impact immediately.

Recently, one of our meal recipients — a woman who lives alone — fell.

She typically depends on her meal driver to check in on her, often the only person she sees each day.

But due to reduced service days in some counties, no one arrived. She lay on the floor until a neighbor found her hours later.

This is why our services matter.

This is why your support is urgently needed.

Join us to protect what matters most — the ability for each of us to age well, with dignity, security, and purpose.

Your gift today keeps meals delivered, transportation available, centers open, and seniors safe from isolation and harm.

Please donate today to help us continue this critical work before more services are at risk.

Every gift stays local and directly strengthens the safety net for older adults in Southeast Missouri.

Thank you for caring! Thank you for giving! And thank you for standing with Aging Matters!

Because,

Aging Matters
