Ramp Up is a program created and run by Habitat for Humanity of Schenectady County that gives qualified local homeowners the opportunity to have a wheelchair ramp built by volunteers at virtually no cost to the homeowner. Ramp Up is funded by the incredibly generous support of IUE-CWA who show their continued dedication with every ramp constructed to building a stronger community where every homeowner is able to easily access their own home.  Do you or a homeowner you know need a wheelchair ramp?

The month of March 2019 mobilized hundreds of local Meals on Wheels programs across the country to reach out to their communities and build the support that will enable them to serve America's seniors all year long. The 17th annual March for Meals campaign gave businesses, organizations, governments and volunteers who contribute so generously in their communities an opportunity to support homebound seniors to make America stronger and healthier. 

Catholic Charities Senior & Caregiver Support Services (CCSCSS) wants to thank everyone who supported this year's event.  In particular, New York State Senator James Tedisco, Town of Glenville Supervisor Chris Koetzle, Town of Rotterdam Supervisor Steven Tommasone, CCSCSS Board of Directors members Jason Ellis and JulieAnn Calareso, Town of Rotterdam Attorney Kate McGuirl, Capital Region Chamber President Mark Eagan, and Bishop of Albany Edward Scharfenberger.  Your involvement assisted this agency in raising awareness for the growing number of seniors facing hunger and isolation in Schenectady County.
