An immediate indication of the agency's success was apparent at their annual. meeting held in Holmesville on March 25. Over 150 people attendedthe dinner meeting, a substantial increase from the first meeting held in 1978 when only 25 were present. In the beginning years, some 50 homemakers pro- vided personal and domestic. in-home care to 25 clients a week. In 1980 close to 80 homemakers serviced 124 clients a week. As people have become more -aware of the agency; the demand for homemakers has increased and 75 percent of their work now goes to .private individuals, who in 1980 purchased a total of $1&2,159 of a service. The Huron Home Care Program is also a major purchaser of homemaking services for their patients and in the past year bought $65,896 worth. Social Services, .the Cana- dian Cancer Society and the Family .and Children's- Ser-. vices also support•the agen- cy. Anyone --who is ill, disabl-. ed, or is having difficulties managing their home can hire the services of the train- ed homemakers.
