Community Caregivers provides many senior neighbors with support such as grocery shopping, transportation and check-in phone calls. We offer our services through a dedicated network of volunteers. We match clients and volunteers in their own communities (Albany & Rensselaer Counties). As a volunteer, you can help by: giving a ride to a medical appointment, friendly phone call, or shopping for someone. This can be once a month or every week; it’s up to you! We offer flexibility to fit your busy schedule. We can help more people if you join us! And you will feel great knowing how a small service can make a big difference in someone's life. We arrange all the requests through the office. We are a non-profit agency supported by community donations, and grants from The Albany County Department for Aging, the NYS Department of Health and Office for the Aging & the U.S. Administration on Aging. There is no fee for any of our services.
