CHEROKEE COUNTY VOLUNTEER AGING COUNCIL

Description

The funds we raise support aspects of the Meals on Wheels (MOW) program, a 'last stop’ fund for seniors’ unexpected housing and medical expenses, an annual fan drive for those who do not have or cannot afford air conditioning, a food closet, building ramps for the disabled, and much more. Through major fundraisers the VAC also funds larger occasional procurements such as a new hot/cold truck used to transport meals, a freezer, improvements for theSeniorCenter, and other vital items. The majority of funds raised go directly to Senior Services’ programs which are researched by their experienced staff, and a small amount goes to St Michael’s annual senior dinner and other unexpected seniors’ needs that arise throughout the year.
