About This Cause
Founded in 1985, ICS helps seniors, disabled individuals and families in financial crisis throughout Pima County, Arizona, achieve stability and independence through support from over 600 volunteers, 65 faith communities and the community at large. Every day, ICS helps many local individuals and families obtain the necessities that they might otherwise be forced to go without. Twenty percent of residents in Pima County are seniors (65 or older) and 25% of them need some help maintaining independent living. ICS assists them with services such as Mobile Meals, caregiving, transportation, and health advocacy home visits. Eighteen percent of Pima County residents, and 98% of our recipients, fall below the federal poverty level. Many of these are "working poor" families who lack health insurance and do not qualify for public health care. Often they live on the edge of homelessness. For thousands of individuals each year, a modest amount of support from the ICS Food Bank, Gifts of Love and Emergency Financial Assistance made the difference in maintaining financial stability.
