Clackamas CARES

Tying the Community Together with Heartstrings

Clackamas CARES, a program of Volunteer Connection, focuses on supporting isolated older adults, persons with disabilities, and family caregivers in Clackamas County.

These are just a few examples:

• Clackamas CARE Calls

  Assist clients with navigating online support resources
• Memory Café Visitor
  Socialize and participate in activities with those with Alzheimer’s
