The 45th Senior Companions Program recognition was held at the courthouse circle drive on June 19.
This year’s recognition is a tribute to Senior Companion volunteers who have worked through the pandemic delivering groceries, medications, hot meals, providing wellness checks and unfailing emotional support to those that can’t do for themselves.
Some volunteers have served more than 20 years. What a tribute to the Senior Companion Program.
Upon arrival, volunteers automatically entered a car decorating contest with prizes donated by Holiday Inn Express and Price Choppers.
Pictures were taken and volunteers received certificates and raffle tickets for specialty gifts donated by H.O.P.E. Ministries.

Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties Inc., the sponsor of the Senior Companion Program of New Hampshire, is excited to announce that Senior Companion Program volunteers have resumed community-based services. The mission of the Senior Companion Program and CAPBMCI is to provide the opportunity for meaningful relationships for senior companions and their visitees. Through the Senior Companion Program, talented, active individuals, age 55 and older serve as volunteers providing companionship to homebound adults.
The primary purpose of the Senior Companion Program is to help isolated seniors develop relationships which encourage independence and help improve the quality of their lives. This free, federally funded program is designed for older adults ages 55 and older who may be isolated due to physical or emotional ailments.
