Want to make a difference in our community? Support local programs that help older adults maintain their independence and well-being!
Established in 1972, Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services (SCES) helps older adults live in the setting of their choice. For the overwhelming majority, that means Aging in Place for as long as possible.
SCES provides many programs that help keep our older neighbors at home, but not all are covered by state and federal funding. Your donation can provide support where it is needed most, and make a difference in the lives of our older friends and neighbors.
SCES is a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which means donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Support Specific Elder Care Programs
Each weekday, over 700 homebound older people in our community receive a hot, nutritious lunch delivered to their doorstep. Please help us ensure that every older person in our community who needs a meal receives one! Whatever you can give will be put to good use in this community.
The Money Management program is a lifeline for clients who struggle with failing eyesight, confusion, dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory loss. Our volunteers provide assistance with basic tasks such as bill paying, budgeting, and banking errands. Without it, many would face eviction, financial exploitation, and premature nursing home placement.
Your tax-deductible donation will support annual scholarships for Cambridge and Somerville students, who have excelled in their studies and demonstrated awareness of the social issues impacting seniors.
