LITA of Contra Costa, founded in 1980, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for senior disabled individuals in skilled nursing homes in Contra Costa County. They achieve this mission by involving community members of all ages, including youth, families, and aspiring artists, who serve as Friendly Visitor Volunteers in various LITA programs such as LITA Music Awakenings, hands-on organic gardens, and seasonal holiday projects.
LITA of Contra Costa has made significant contributions to nursing facilities by providing tablets, iPads, and smartphones for patient use, as well as setting up interior patio gardens for patients to participate in growing flowers and herbs. Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, LITA continues to support the well-being of nursing facility residents through their Music Compassion Project, which includes virtual musical variety shows and entertainment. Donations to LITA directly impact the lives of lonely and isolated seniors, enhancing their quality of life in these challenging times.
