AZ Gives Day; Give Where you live!

Give Where You Live on Arizona Gives Day

Support Older Adults and Family Caregivers in Pima County

When you give to Pima Council on Aging (PCOA), you’re doing more than making a donation—you’re showing up for your neighbors.

Right now in Pima County, thousands of older adults are living alone, managing health issues, and trying to stretch limited incomes to cover food, medicine, and housing. Many are also caring for a loved one without any help.

That’s where you come in.

Your Gift Stays Local

Every dollar you give on Arizona Gives Day helps provide:

• Meals for homebound older adults

• Rides to medical appointments and grocery stores

• Support groups for family caregivers

• Help with Medicare and benefits

• Home repairs and safety modifications

• Memory Cafés and dementia support

PCOA has been here for over 50 years—walking alongside older adults and caregivers every step of the way. We are proud to be the trusted source of support for people as they age in our community.

One Person Can Make a Big Difference

Andy had been married for over 50 years when his wife, Chris, was diagnosed with dementia. The diagnosis changed everything. Chris had always taken care of their home and family. Now, Andy found himself in a role he never expected—her caregiver.

At first, he felt angry, overwhelmed, and lost. “I thought she would stabilize,” Andy said. “I was in denial.” As Chris’s condition worsened, Andy struggled to cope with the emotional and physical demands of caregiving.

Then he found PCOA.

Through support groups, counseling, and connection, Andy discovered he wasn’t alone. “PCOA helped me feel like I was still a human being. They helped me understand that the anger, confusion, and grief I was feeling—it was normal.”

While life has changed, Andy has found strength, peace, and purpose again—thanks to the support of people like you who fund programs for caregivers.
