Many families and individuals in our community need help every day due to a variety of factors including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age or marital breakdown. While all of us are susceptible to hard times, children and the elderly are at the most risk, and they make up the largest number of clients Pelham Cares serves.

●Provides transportation to medical and related appointments, mainly to senior citizens who are without transportation.

●Responds to families of fire or other catastrophic loss by providing emergency food, supplies or short term accommodation
