Orangeburg County Council on Aging

Orangeburg County Council on Aging OCCOA is here to enhance and enrich the lives of older adults with a little assistance.

We believe that every senior citizen: is valuable; is entitled to a healthy, productive life; is entitled to a healthy, balanced diet; is entitled to activities that are challenging and stimulating; is entitled to fellowship and caring.

Seniors rely on us. We rely on you.

Here in Orangeburg County, too many older adults are facing hunger, isolation, and long waits for essential services like Meals on Wheels. With rising food and fuel costs, the need continues to grow — and so does the importance of steady community support.

When you join our monthly giving program, Orangeburg Champions for Seniors, you help:

✔ Deliver nutritious meals that support health and independence
✔ Provide safety checks and meaningful social connection
✔ Ensure seniors can age safely at home
✔ Strengthen our ability to reach more older adults, faster

Meals on Wheels is proven to reduce health care costs and improve food security, and we can serve a senior for an entire year for roughly the cost of a single day in the hospital.

Yet only 1% of philanthropic giving in the U.S. goes to aging-related causes. Your monthly gift ensures Orangeburg County seniors aren’t left waiting for the lifeline they depend on.

Join Orangeburg Champions for Seniors today and help for the older adults who need us most.

As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and love of freedom will never be forgotten.

Our team at the Orangeburg County Council on Aging will be observing Memorial Day on Monday, May 25th, and our office will be closed. We’ll reopen on Tuesday, May 26th and will respond to any messages as soon as we return.

Wishing you and your loved ones a thoughtful and meaningful Memorial Day as we remember the heroes who made our tomorrows possible.

It takes a community to keep essential services strong.

While we are grateful for the support we receive from public funding and local partners, continued generosity from individuals, churches, and organizations allows us to expand and strengthen what we offer every day.

That support helps us reach more people, provide more meals, and create more opportunities for connection across Orangeburg County.

If you believe in supporting health, independence, and community, we invite you to learn more about how you can be part of our mission: www.orangeburgccoa.com
