Overview

Mission

York county council on aging's (yccoa) mission is to serve as a focal point for the provision and coordination of a broad range of services and activities for senior adults in york and chester counties, sc. We strive to improve health and wellness, decrease isolation, and provide assistance to seniors that will enhance their ability to live independently and remain out of institutions and will help to improve the quality of their lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Yccoa provides a hot, noon day meal, three to five times a week in a group dining setting in six senior centers in york and chester counties. Senior citizens participate in a variety of activities such as exercise, nutritional education, crafts, games, and trips. The meals improve the nutritional health of the clients, while attending the senior center decreases their social isolation. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, 19,765 congregate meals were served in york county and 14,021 were served in chester county. Yccoa also delivers a hot meal, five days a week or a box of five frozen meals once a week, to the residences of home bound elderly individuals in both york and chester counties who live alone, are unable to prepare their own meals, and have no one who is able to provide a meal for them. This service enables many seniors to remain in their own homes, maintain their independence, and stay out of nursing homes. This fiscal year, york county provided 95,012 hot and 10,752 frozen meals in york county and 13,655 frozen meals in chester county. The agency also provides shelf stable emergency meal bags for its homebound clients. These meal bags contain canned and dry goods that can be consumed without cooking and have the nutritional equivalence of seven meals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 60% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
