Best Charity

For more than 30 years, Laguna Woods-based Age Well Senior Services has lovingly provided assistance—meals on wheels, health services and social events—for our needy elderly citizens. How many people benefit? Last year alone, the nonprofit aided 63,000 seniors. Since 2008, it has delivered almost 900,000 meals. Shelli Mire, who helps deliver the meals, says the recipients, who are often alone, "just light up" when they get visits. We also like that this 501(c)3 charity—it's not government—frequently arranges for local middle-school students to help. That's a win-win situation. The elderly get some companionship, and the kids get an important life lesson.
