Charleston Area Senior Citizens Services Inc

Celebrating 50 years of service to Seniors in the Lowcountry!

Charleston Area Senior Citizen's Services, Inc. was founded November 29, 1967 and led by founding chairman Nicholas J. Sottile, to help frail impoverished seniors in the Lowcountry.
Overseeing the Charleston Area Meals on Wheels program, during our 2016-2017 fiscal year 161,500 meals were delivered to frail seniors in their homes by delivery technicians that check visually on each seniors well-being; 310 clients were provided a thirty day Emergency Food Box; 378 at-risk seniors were provided help in finding emergency shelter, food and medications; 8925 hot lunches were served at our Senior Center located at 259 Meeting Street; 60 Foster Grandparents volunteered over 46,000 hours at 38 sites benefitting over 400 at-risk children ten years of age or younger; and, 61 Senior Companions volunteered more than 48,000 hours to assist 150 frail elderly residents and help allow them to continue to live independently.

Charleston Area Meals on Wheels serves frail seniors in Charleston and parts of Berkeley and Dorchester counties.

Volunteer opportunities abound in the following areas:
Meals on Wheels: packaging and assisting on delivery routes
Senior Center Activities and stocking Food Pantries
Foster Grandparents--senior stipends available
Senior Companions--senior stipends available
Ansonborough House--assist with phones and food mart

Thank you for donating. Just $5.50 will cover the cost of food, packaging and delivering one meal to the home of a hungry senior. For many of our seniors this delivery is their #OneHotMeal Monday through Friday, and the delivery technician the only human contact they will have each day. Please donate today! Thank you!
