Community Resources
COVID-19 has presented many challenges for our community, especially our senior population. Many agencies, including Community Partners in Caring, are diligently at work to provide support. Below you will find a list of agencies supporting seniors during the COVID-19 crisis. This is not a comprehensive list. As more information becomes available, we will add it to this page.
The support noted on this page includes General Needs, Emotional Support, Instructions for Reporting Abuse, and current Transportation options.
