The Chore Service is partially funded by a grant from the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging, Inc. (WCAAA) and a small assessment from our six member towns. We also apply for grants and raise funds from businesses and members of our communities.
Workers are paid directly by the Chore Service at a standard rate, regardless of the contribution the senior makes to the program. They are covered by worker’s compensation and liability insurance.
