Did you know that 40% of seniors in our community experience isolation on a regular basis? Can you imagine growing older in your home without the support of any family, friends, neighbors, or financial stability? Whom would you call for help?

For over 300 seniors in Knox County, the answer is the CAC Senior Companion Program. This unique program mobilizes senior volunteers to provide support to homebound, lonely, and isolated older adults - free of charge.

The Senior Companion volunteers receive a small stipend for their service which helps them purchase necessities such as food and medicine. Your donation today will go towards covering the stipend, meals, and transportation costs for Senior Companion Volunteers.

For more information, please visit our website or email Karley Harkins at SnowflakeBall@knoxseniors.org

Preparing Meals, Medication Reminders, Respite Care, Friendship, Companionship, and much more.

Senior Companions assist older adults who are:

Recovering from illness or surgery, hospice patients, lonely and isolated, and those battling Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
