Health: Respite for patients at the end of life, and their caregivers
Caring for the Caregiver
Respite programs allow a caregiver to get a break from caregiving duties while the patient is cared for in an inpatient facility.
Even a day or a night at a time can alleviate “caregiver burnout” - which can be any one of or a combination of symptoms such as lost sleep, feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety.
From our community partner:
"Nurses, counselors and social workers are becoming ever more mindful of the benefits of respite for caregivers for our hospice patients. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of our patients and families."

Education: Building resilience in families
High Quality, Inclusive, Free Family Resilience Programming
From our community partner:
"We are a seasonal economy with a high cost of living. The 2020 onslaught of the global pandemic exposed large gaps in an already fractured system of early education and care and family support services on the Cape and Islands. We havebeen fortunate to be the recipient of several emergency relief grants to quickly distribute to families with very few eligibility barriers to receiving support. And while the pandemic crisis has subsided, the gaps in early education and family support are still here, are still large, and are still complex to solve.”
– Patty Watson, Director Grants and Development

From our community partner:
"The Cape & Islands United Way has been instrumental in supporting our Community Lunch program, which provides children and other residents in need of nutrition support with free lunches during the summer break from school.”
