A local organization dedicated to serving elderly, disabled and low-income people is near at least 20 percent of its goal to help 8,000 families this year. The Mother’s Day project – held May 7 through the We Care Committee – helped 1,464 families. “It was a blessing to a lot of people,” We Care Committee president LueZarah Robinson said. The 2009 goal was 4,000 families and the committee exceeded that goal by 216 people.

The group also has a goal to establish a physical location.
