Catholic Charities Of The Diocese Of Fresno

In carrying out the social mission of the Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Fresno the organization provides food, clothing, shelter, assistance and comfort to the poor in the central San Joaquin Valley.

Senior Companion Program - The Senior Companion Program provides senior companions (volunteer age 55 and over) who provide assistance and companionship to seniors who have difficulty with their daily living tasks. Companions provide assistance to the elderly and allow them to continue living independently in their own homes instead of moving into institutional care. Eligible senior companions earn a small tax-free stipend to cover the cost of serving. They also receive reimbursement for transportation, an annual physical examination, and supplemental accident and liability coverage while they are serving.
