About Us
The Friends of the Chatham Council on Aging is the only tax-exempt non-profit organization that exists for the sole purpose of supporting the programming and the services of the Chatham COA. Since our inception in 1978, we have subsidized adult education classes, legal services, caregiver support groups, health screenings/education, transportation, a monthly birthday party for Chatham residents 60+ and much more. We also helped finance the purchase of an ADA accessible van.
The services provided by the Chatham COA allow local seniors and their caregivers to manage daily life and extend their independence in a healthy and productive way.
Through fundraising and volunteer support, the Friends supplements and fills the gaps in funding the COA receives from the Town of Chatham and grantors. Providing publicity and advocacy, the Friends organization is a strong voice for the Chatham COA in the community.
