Harrisburg’s seniors don’t need to cope with problems on their own, as many government agencies and nonprofit organizations can provide free assistance on a range of issues. They include accessing durable medical equipment, resolving disagreements with care providers, and, for veterans, accessing professional counseling services. Some organizations can help seniors volunteer their time, and others can improve socialization opportunities.

| Changing Hands Equipment Reuse Program | (717) 737-3477 | Operating from its base in Camp Hill, UCP of Central Pennsylvania manages the Changing Hands Equipment Reuse Program.
