“Seniors in our community are suffering from isolation, seniors that are perfectly healthy,” said Christie Holderegger, the vice president and chief development and communications officer for Volunteers of America Northern California and Northern Nevada. “But because of their age or maybe some underlying health concerns, they really need to shelter in place more than anybody else. They can’t even go to the grocery store.”
