How are Agency Program & Services Affected by Coronavirus?

At Catholic Charities Senior & Caregiver Support Services, we strive to provide older adults and caretakers with the tools they need to live fulfilled and independent lives. In the wake of the new coronavirus, older adults in our communities are increasingly vulnerable and many need our services now more than ever.

Community Support Aids in Safety & Social Distancing to Keep Seniors Fed

A huge thank you to Price Chopper/Market32 and 4Imprint for their recent generous donations of plastic bags to support the Agency's Meals on Wheels Program. This community involvement aids in the Agency’s efforts to keep employees and clients safe while maintaining social distancing for seniors who rely on meal deliveries in their homes.

March for Meals - Thank you!

The month of March 2019 mobilized hundreds of local Meals on Wheels programs across the country to reach out to their communities and build the support that will enable them to serve America's seniors all year long. The 17th annual March for Meals campaign gave businesses, organizations, governments and volunteers who contribute so generously in their communities an opportunity to support homebound seniors to make America stronger and healthier.

Catholic Charities Senior & Caregiver Support Services (CCSCSS) wants to thank everyone who supported this year's event. In particular, New York State Senator James Tedisco, Town of Glenville Supervisor Chris Koetzle, Town of Rotterdam Supervisor Steven Tommasone, CCSCSS Board of Directors members Jason Ellis and JulieAnn Calareso, Town of Rotterdam Attorney Kate McGuirl, Capital Region Chamber President Mark Eagan, and Bishop of Albany Edward Scharfenberger. Your involvement assisted this agency in raising awareness for the growing number of seniors facing hunger and isolation in Schenectady County.
