Are you 55+ and looking to stay active and involved? Consider becoming a Senior Companion! Senior Companions are AmeriCorps volunteers who provide companionship to Seniors in their community. A recent study found that nearly one fourth of adults 65 or older are socially isolated and we learn more every day about how the stress of loneliness can have enormous detrimental mental and physical health effects. Volunteers, on the other hand, not only improve the health of their communities-but lower their own risk of dementia, heart-disease, stroke and chronic pain! Add to all these benefits a small stipend for folks who qualify, training, recognition. and you have a program that is a win-win for everyone involved!

Mission Statement
Motivated by Christ's love, we bring hope to life, especially for those most in need.
Description
Catholic Charities Serving Central Washington provides help and creates hope for thousands of people each year regardless of religious, social, or economic backgrounds. Though serving the outreach efforts of the Diocese of Yakima, Catholic Charities is a separate 501(c)3 charitable organization, funded in part by the State of Washington, federal contracts, the United Way across Central Washington, fees for service, grants, and charitable contributions. Although rooted in a Catholic tradition that shapes its core mission of service to all, at times as many as 85% of the agency’s staff is non-Catholic. Similarly, the vast majority of those being served are not Catholic. With nearly 32 service locations and almost 48,000 people served annually, the agency remains a testimony to its ongoing mission of "Bringing Hope to Life."
