Catholic Charities aims to reduce the effects of isolation in seniors by empowering them to engage in meaningful activities in our community.
Senior programs are available to strengthen our most vulnerable and isolated seniors and also engage our seniors in meaningful activities.
Adopt-A-Senior – Volunteers are paired with isolated seniors to provide basic needs and companionship.
Project Hope – On the first Monday of the month, volunteers distribute a two-week food stipend to low-income seniors.
Project Cool – Free box fans are provided to senior citizens in an effort to prevent heat-related illness and death during the hot summer months. Visit the Project Cool page by clicking here to learn more.
