A $15,000 community grant awarded by SAFE Credit Union is aiding many residents in the Sacramento region to live safer and fuller lives. The credit union recently awarded the funds to Rebuilding Together Sacramento’s Safe at Home program dedicated to preventing seniors and those with disabilities from experiencing falls at home. The program’s volunteers and staff build and install free safety improvements to the homes of qualifying area residents including ramps, railings and grab bars. “We have an aging population in the Sacramento area that are finding it harder and harder to do the things they love. Much of that is because they can’t get in and out of their homes safely,” says Rebuilding Together Sacramento Executive Director Bonnie Patterson. “Donors like SAFE Credit Union allow us to help more and more people. We are very, very thankful to have received this grant.”
