Why is it important to you to support CICOA?

"CareGivers, Inc. Home Health Services and CICOA have been partners for over twenty years. We are both advocates for the aged and disabled. Throughout these twenty plus years, we have seen how government funds, both State and Federal, have been cut year after year, yet the needs of this population continues to grow exponentially as the population grows older. As a CICOA vendor, we are proud to have the opportunity to support CICOA."

What would you say to someone considering donating to CICOA?

"CICOA is a one-stop shop for services to the elderly and disabled. They not only provide services through vendors such as CareGivers, Inc. that enhance one’s ability to age in place; they are also a vast resource for information on available community resources. They have been very creative in becoming less dependent on government sources and reaching out to the community for partners. We all have a common goal of making this an elder friendly community that supports its aging population. So, rather than give to a variety of organizations, know that your donations are distributed effectively and efficiently through CICOA.."
