CitizensMatch serves as an economic tool monetizing acts of caring among individuals and businesses within our caring community through a non-cash currency, Citizen Dollars. Individuals earn them when they work to strengthen the community in which they live.

People Typically :

- drive a neighbor to an appointment

- help with chores around the house

- deliver groceries to those who cannot leave their homes.
Each of these acts is given a value and the individuals receive that amount in Citizen Dollars.

CitizensMatch is a program of Highland Valley Elder Services, Inc.

For more than thirty years, Highland Valley Elder Services has worked together with elders and their families to help ensure that quality long living is more than just a guiding vision. Every day we engage the strengths and talents of elders and their families to embrace their own evolving needs and how much they offer to caring in the Pioneer Valley.

From nutrition, home care and money management to alternative living arrangements and protection from abuse, together we create solutions that have a direct immediate and positive impact on the quality of everyday life. CitizensMatch has evolved from the agency's faith in elders and in people who provide elder care.

CitizensMatch helps local businesses and individuals to make a profit and thus to sustain the care they offer while helping elders and family caregivers in their community take charge of their care needs and sustaining what they have to offer.

It's what we all do together that creates quality long living and sustains caring communities.
