With the impending arrival of Seventy-Six million senior citizens, your support is needed now, more than ever.
Crater District Area Agency on Aging was first established in 1975, and was the result of a joint exercise of powers of the four cities and five counties that currently comprise what is known as "Planning District 19".
Our Board of Directors is comprised of representatives of each of the aforementioned localities.
Our agency is a non-profit, tax-exempt agency that receives Federal funding under the Older Americans Act and its' subsequent reathorizations, although we accept the donation of items, services, and monetary contributions from both private and governmental entities. This funding is realeased by the Administration on Aging, located in Washington, D.C.
At the state level, our funding is distributed by the Virginia Department for the Aging.
As for our agency, our mission is to effectively facilitate an increased accessibility of information which will be beneficial in helping seniors and caregivers to maintain their autonomy and dignity while strengthening their faith in the humanity and kindness of others.
