The coming year will mark 50 years of service for Crosskeys Human Services, Inc. In 1975, the Rev. Edward F. Higgins wanted to provide services to the elderly. He reached out to the Sisters of St. Francis.


The article from the Herald-Standard discusses how Crosskeys Human Services, a nonprofit organization, is actively supporting older adults in Fayette County through various initiatives. They have partnered with the Southwestern Pennsylvania Area Agency on Aging to provide essential services like home-delivered meals, transportation, and personal care. Crosskeys also engages in community outreach, offering activities such as bingo, crafts, and exercise classes to promote social interaction and mental health among seniors. Additionally, they are involved in a project to distribute holiday gift bags to seniors, aiming to bring joy and companionship during the festive season. This initiative not only addresses the physical needs of the elderly but also focuses on reducing isolation and enhancing their quality of life.
