Introducing: Community Connections Collaborative & WikiDelphia
Over the past year, I have come to learn that I am not alone as a caregiver. There are others in the community who understand & share my journey, or have supports or information that can help me. One such organization is Community Connections Collaborative (CCC). This organization meets monthly by Zoom, and from time to time in person for networking events. Members represent a wide range of community services, including agencies or services that would be of assistance to caregivers and those with chronic illness. For example, Jean Kirkley, the CEO of Boomers R Heroes, was featured in the post published April 10, 2024.
Here is an excerpt from the Home Page of CCC:
Community Connections Collaborative (CCC) is an unincorporated nonprofit association of seasoned leaders and connectors within the Philadelphia Community. Our motto is Relationships Matter. Our mission is to facilitate connections and collaboration among individuals, groups, and service providers to improve community health and quality of life. Our vision is to be a thriving community of information advocates and social service providers increasing access to knowledge, resources and tools that overcome barriers to collaboration and sharing.
This spreadsheet located on their website lists many of the organizations that participate:

WikiDelphia is another link that can be accessed through the CCC website. This website provides contact information for agencies and services in the Philadelphia Area. The link through CCC lists emergency contacts first, which is very helpful. You can check it out here:
Both of these website include a wide range of services. I will plan to feature information specifically helpful to caregivers and those with chronic illness in future posts.
