Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to support Central Vermonters to age with dignity and choice.” Its 2024 filing describes individual advocacy services including case management, information and assistance, health-insurance and benefits counseling, and legal assistance. It also describes independent-living services such as community and home-delivered meals, transportation, in-home services, and nutrition education, as well as information, support, and respite-care funding for family caregivers.
Its 2025 grants supported organizations providing meals and services for older adults, alongside legal and mental-health services for older people. For example, Meals on Wheels of Lamoille County says its mission is to improve community elders’ health and quality of life through nutritious meals and social interaction. Barre Housing Services describes its City Hotel Cafe as a Meals on Wheels program providing meals, friendly visits, and safety checks to help older and disabled people remain at home. Vermont Legal Aid says it provides free civil legal services to people who are poor, elderly, or have disabilities.
