June kicks off with some terrific community events as well! The first weekend is Hoffman Car Wash's Annual Food Drive.

Drop your donation at the Clifton Park Hoffman's (1672 Route 9) and it will go directly to our Emergency Food & Hygiene Pantry.
There's more to come this fall too, and I'm sure they'll be more events as you and supporters like you step up to host an event or collect donations for your neighbors in need. If you're interested in doing so, please reach out to Ava Martin at 518-399-4624 or ava@captaincares.org.
With so much happening, I hope that we'll see you for at least one of these upcoming events. As always, thank you so much for your support today and every day of the year.

? Make a Difference for Area Seniors: Donate to the 2023 Care Links Annual Appeal!
As we celebrate Older Americans Month, make a difference for local seniors in Southern Saratoga County by giving to the 2023 Care Links Annual Appeal!
Care Links is a proud program of CAPTAIN Community Human Services.
Trained Care Links volunteers provide supportive services at no cost to persons 60+ in the towns of Ballston (including Burnt Hills), Charlton, Clifton Park, Halfmoon, Malta, the village of Ballston Spa, and the city of Mechanicville.
Care Links helps to keep people living independently in their homes as long as possible without duplicating other, well-established services. Those services include: friendly visiting, transportation, respite assistance, shopping and errands, telephone reassurance, and more!
This month, for every person we send their way and who completes an auto or fire quote, they’ll make a $5 donation to our organization.
For the quote to qualify, the individual cannot be a current State Farm customer, but please refer friends and family to help support this organization. Call 518-400-1770 for your quote today!
When calling in/stopping by for a quote, be sure to mention Quotes for Good and our organization’s name for the quote to qualify. We are excited about the opportunity to generate donations and create awareness about our cause.
Thank you for supporting us through Quotes for Good. Together, we can make a difference in our community.
