Impact Catalog

JCA provides programs and services to support older adults and their families to build bridges across generations. Our programs are designed to empower independence, build social connections, and offer solutions responsive to the unique needs of our aging community. Every dollar you give makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the people who turn to JCA for help. Your generosity sustains our work today and into the future. Together, we are improving the lives of our aging friends and neighbors.

Senior HelpLine

The HelpLine, often a person’s first contact with JCA, starts a relationship leading the caller to housing, funding, transportation, employment, or volunteer opportunities. HelpLine staff connect people with referrals to JCA programs or other community resources that are responsive to their needs, values, and preferences. Your gift gives people answers and connects them with essential services.
