~ Thank you for supporting our long-standing mission to improve the quality of life for those who need us most. 
The Senior Citizens Commission established an Endowment Fund in 2007 
through the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut to provide 
critical program funding for seniors who are struggling financially or at risk 
of falling into economic insecurity as they age. Funded entirely by 
donations, the Endowment has provided qualified seniors with the help they 
need to feel safe and comfortable in their homes, as well as remain active 
and connected to our community.
