Thirty volunteers from Allied Solutions, Trans America, and Ivy Tech recently packed 60 care packages valued at $35 each and delivered them to Hamilton County’s financially fragile seniors. Care packages include personal care items that seniors are unable to get at a food pantry. They consist of toilet paper, soap, shampoo, paper towels, and other household items.
SCHC collects personal care items throughout the year and delivers them to low-income seniors each quarter. If you, your family, or your organization would like to donate care package supplies or participate in care package assembly or delivery, please contact SCHC Programs Director Lisa Albano at lisa@scofhc.org.
In addition to care packages, SCHC provides free resources to help Hamilton County seniors aged 55 and over to age in place with the dignity they deserve, as long as safely possible. SCHC facilitates this through five signature programs: Together Today, Reaching Resources, Community Caring, Counseling, and Guardianship. There is no wait time or fee for SCHC services regardless of income. For more information, call (317) 674-8777.
