Meals and Miles in May Campaign - Thank you!

A big THANK YOU to all of the sponsors and community members for the “Meals and Miles in May” campaign support. The generous donations will ensure we are able to provide nutritious meals and vital transportation services to many seniors in Schenectady County.

Our Meals on Wheels Program serves approximately 93,000 meals each year and our transportation program provides over 16,000 trips annually. Donations will go directly to the day-to-day operations of these programs, always working to make sure our seniors know they are not alone.

Thank you for helping us improve the quality of life for every client we serve. To use the words that clients often say to us – I don’t know what we would do without you!

Teresian House Community Outreach Respite Program

Are you feeling stressed from day-in, day-out round-the-clock care of supervision of an elderly relative? Are you unable to take a weekend away or a short vacation for lack of trustworthy alternate care arrangements? Thanks to generous funding through the Troy Savings Bank Foundation, Teresian House is offering a program to give assistance to those in need of temporary respite care that are either unable to afford the daily rate and are currently not enrolled in Medicaid.
