COMPASSION ON THE MOVE
Mobile Food Pantry
Compassion On The Move is our mobile food pantry. This program delivers food and other items to the front doors of isolated seniors, helping to supplement their grocery bills so that they don't go hungry during the month.
TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Technology is a wonderful asset that helps connect isolated seniors with the world around them. Through our programs we teach seniors the following:
-
How to Set Up and Use a Smartphone which provides seniors with a way to keep up with the latest relevant news, and makes their phones senior-friendly by enlarging the font size, increasing the ringer sound, downloading apps, updating their contact information, and changing various settings to meet their needs.
-
How to Use Online Shopping and Delivery which helps seniors who are unable to get out to stores, enabling them to get contactless delivery of groceries or consumer products.
-
How to Use Video Chat or Calling in an effort to combat isolationism by assisting seniors in communication with their loved ones or friends by sight and sound.

Throughout the year, CAN creates targeted events and initiatives all designed to raise support, awareness, and critical funds to combat senior isolationism by continuing to provide much needed groceries, personal care items, connection and so much more! These initiatives include:
-
The Adopt Someone Forgotten Annual Golf Tournament
