Your donation is very helpful to CONTACT Cape-Atlantic, especially at this time given the challenges of providing interrupted services in the environment of isolation. We count on support from those who share the belief that a check in call can reveal a health problem that might have gone unnoticed; those who believe a conversation can reduce loneliness and isolation.
