2026 MDSLC Z-HOPE Initiative – A Legacy of Care: Dignity Delivered

Chapters and Auxiliaries in the State of Maryland will galvanize as a State under Zeta’s Power of S.H.E. to address a full multi-layered impact with Social, Health, and Economic Justice affecting older adults by empowering and delivering dignity.

The objective is to provide structured, high-impact service and educational and learning opportunities, that support older adults, frail elderly individuals, caregivers, and community-based aging service providers that will:

• Promote physical, cognitive, emotional, or social well-being
• Support lifelong learning and skill development
• Provide tangible community support and advocacy

The state has a goal to raise donations to support the three (3) beneficiary organizations, and funds will also support:

• The Lodge at Marlton – Caregivers Support Group (Prince George’s County)
• Reisterstown Older Adult Center (Baltimore County)
• Zeta Center for Healthy and Active Aging (Baltimore City)

* Contributing chapters or auxiliaries are asked to identify an organization in their local service area that may also be eligible to receive financial support.

A Legacy of Care: Dignity Delivered project will provide a range of options to support Z-HOPE in the lead-up to the State Conference.
