Center for Community Services: The Center for Community Services provides assistance to thousands of disabled persons, homebound and isolated seniors, hospice patients, and veterans in Harris County and 18 additional counties in Southeast Texas. The Center administers three AmeriCorps Seniors programs: Harris County Foster Grandparent Program, Harris County Senior Companion Program and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Southeast Texas (RSVP). The Center also sponsors a Meals on Wheels and a senior transportation program known as J Ride, which serves Southwest Houston. See Schedule OThe 69 Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent volunteers provided over 55,000 hours of service to community organizations in the form of mentoring at-risk youth, providing companionship to isolated seniors as well as respite for their caregivers.During the year, 647 RSVP volunteers provided 68,000 hours of service across an 18-county service area. RSVP volunteer efforts focused on providing Healty Futures services for older adults. These include respite services, nutrition/food support, companionship, transportation, disaster preparedness education to the public, and education to prevent Medicare fraud. The Meals on Wheels program successfully delivered over 104,000 meals to adults age 60+ living in southwest Houston. The JCC Meals on Wheels program is the fourth largest provider of hot meals in Harris County and served approximately 690 seniors in our community last year. Meals were delivered by 300 volunteers in addition to paid drivers. Hot meals are provided daily, and additional frozen meals are provided in advance of holiday closures. Shelf-stable meals are provided annually, so clients are prepared in case of emergency closures due to inclement weather. Supplemental weekend meals are provided as funding allows. By receiving food at home, the clients are able to maintain nutritional health, receive daily contact with another human being thereby decreasing isolation, and maintain a sense of independence and dignity, thereby delaying nursing home care. The J Ride program provides safe, reliable, non-emergency transportation for adults aged 60+ and adults with disabilities. J Ride was created in collaboration with Jewish Family Service, Jewish Federation of Greater Houston, and Goldberg B'nai B'rith Towers. In addition, the Center provides a variety of social, educational, and fitness activities for adults over age 60.
