Seniors need to know that people in our community care about their happiness, dignity and well-being. That is why we created Community Projects for Seniors.



Mission

To enrich the lives of low income senior citizens who reside in subsidized housing.

We work to improve the quality of the everyday lives of seniors by:
  • Serving and delivering hot wholesome meals
  • Providing joy through a variety of fun activities
  • Creating opportunities to make new friends
  • Encouraging social interaction in a safe environment with other seniors
  • Delivering and distributing useful products

    Many seniors are affected by physical and mental health issues as well as by limited resources and income.

    Community Projects for Seniors provides critical services for elderly individuals without a family support system, and mobility-challenged individuals over the age of fifty.

    We design programs to reduce:
  • Stress
  • Loneliness
  • Depression

    Seniors need to know that people in our community care about their:
  • Happiness
  • Dignity
  • Well-being

    Community Projects strives to influence seniors':
  • Attitudes
  • Feelings
  • Self-esteem

    Community Projects volunteers deliver more than 4,000 free hot meals on each of these holidays:
  • Easter Sunday
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • Christmas Day
