Senior

Services

CCEW's Senior Services program provides essential assistance to those who are aging or disabled and wish to remain in their own home. Volunteers and clients often form bonds of trust and friendship, transforming both lives for the better!

"By doing small tasks and giving of their time, our volunteers show up every month - which means the world to our clients and helps them remain independent in their homes."
-Cyndie Lapke, Senior Services Director

Volunteer Chore Services provides a wide range of household tasks and assistance that enable low-income elderly and disabled clients to remain in their own homes with dignity, safety, and a connection to their community. Assistance includes housework, laundry, transportation, shopping and various other independent living requests. Volunteers also participate in one-time projects such as moves and yard clean-ups.

COMMODITIES PROGRAM

The Commodities program is a partnership between Catholic Charities Eastern Washington and Valley Partners Food Bank. Valley Partners provides and packages the food that Catholic Charities' volunteers deliver to those who otherwise would not be able to get to a food bank. There are approximately 45 volunteers driving food to the 500 people in this program.

Each year, Volunteer Chore Services coordinates two community cleanup days in Spokane. Volunteers meet at O'Malley Hall at St. Aloysius Parish in the morning, receive their assignments, and head out to help our neighbors with yard work.
