Ever wondered how a nonprofit organization can transform the lives of seniors through innovative support programs? Join us as we sit down with Juan Gallo, the Executive Director and CEO of Heart to Heart Outreach. Juan shares his compelling journey from medical and Medicare representation to leading an organization dedicated to providing social-emotional support to seniors. Learn about the origins of Heart to Heart, founded by Sean Steepleton in 2010, and their mission to bridge the gap of loneliness among seniors through volunteer visits. Juan also takes us through their adaptive initiatives during the pandemic, such as expanding into home-delivered meals through the Older Americans Act's Meals on Wheels program, and the critical importance of volunteer training to ensure personalized caregiving.
In this episode, we also dive deep into the fundraising strategies that keep Heart to Heart Outreach thriving. Discover how they effectively use tools like the UCLA Loneliness Survey to combat loneliness among seniors and hear the poignant success story of a young woman with severe muscular dystrophy, supported by volunteers during the pandemic. We talk about the financial landscape of the organization, with a significant portion of funding coming from private donors and grants. The episode also sheds light on the organization's efforts to raise awareness about available resources for seniors, the significant impact of their annual gala, and the innovative ways they ensure immediate food assistance for those in need. Don't miss this enlightening conversation that highlights the invaluable role of nonprofit organizations in supporting our elderly community.
