Join us for an informative session where we will review the programs and services available to residents of Putnam County over the age of 60, along with valuable caregiver services. Learn about the wide range of resources that the Putnam County Office for Senior Resources has to offer and discover the collaborations they have with local community organizations.

PHILIPSTOWN AGING AT HOME 2025 APPEAL!

Give to Philipstown Aging At Home to help your friends and neighbors enjoy their senior years at home. We want to offer an array of new interests and social events with the Philipstown community that will keep our seniors connected and creative!

Dear Friends;

It happens to all of us: our circle of friends shrinks as we get older. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Philipstown Aging at Home (PAAH), a volunteer-run organization of local residents, is working to create and strengthen bonds among Philipstown senior citizens. There are a lot of us here. We can, in fact, expand our world.

Meetings, talks, support groups, memoir groups, book groups, weekly walks, and more: PAAH offers a variety of opportunities for seniors to meet others, make new connections, learn new skills, strengthen social life, and thrive at home.

Join our programs, suggest other programs, and find new sources of sustenance in our beautiful community. It's a varied group. There’s a role for everyone. Learn more about PAAH’s programs at PAAH.net

​Although run by volunteers, PAAH requires donations to develop and sustain its programs, and to continue to reach people. We hope you’ll consider donating to PAAH this year.

​Make a donation on the website, below, or mail your donation to Philipstown Aging At Home, PO Box 74, Cold Spring, NY 10516. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you so much in advance, and please, come join us!

Sincerely,

​​Sheila Rauch
Chair of the PAAH Board
