Neighbors: Letters of thanks

Thanks to Juneau Community Foundation and CBJ for supporting elders

On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and the wonderful people we serve, we want to express our profound gratitude to the Juneau Community Foundation and the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) for their extraordinary financial support in 2023 and 2024. Your generous contributions for the Bridge Adult Day Program, Juneau Senior Center, Meals on Wheels Program, and Senior In-home and Gatekeeper Program enable us to keep providing meals, transportation, engagement, and life-changing resources to seniors and caregivers in our community. Thanks to supporters like the Juneau Community Foundation and the CBJ, Catholic Community Service continues to provide essential resources across Southeast Alaska for seniors and caregivers, and family advocacy through the SAFE Child Advocacy Center. During these years of growing need, the support of the Juneau Community Foundation and CBJ has been crucial, ensuring that our seniors and elders live healthy and engaged lives. Thank you for your generosity in uplifting our community.
