When it comes to senior citizens, many think about issues associated with retirement savings and healthcare.

To help increase awareness and put more family members at the table, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation is gathering pledges.

The pledge form and resources can be found at SundayDinnerPledge dot com. Those who make the effort will also receive a year’s worth of recipes and shopping guides to make meal preparation easy.
