Friends of the Council – Membership & Giving
You can make a difference in the lives of isolated older adults every day when you become a Friend of the Council on Aging – Southern California (COASC). Through our Ombudsmen and SmileMakers Holiday Gift Programs we know how important it is to have someone care and remember an older adult with a kind word and thoughtful gift.
With your help we will provide direct support to fulfill our mission to promote the independence, health, and dignity of older adults through compassion, education, and advocacy.
We look forward to welcoming you as a Friend of the Council and invite you to choose a category of membership support below.
Joining is easy and affordable. Your gift can start as a $25 monthly gift or you can select to make your 12 months gift as an annual payment of $300.
