COURT HOUSE – Cape Assist, a Substance Abuse Prevention and Counseling Agency servicing Cape May County, has received a grant in the amount of $25,000 from The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey. The grant will fund the Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) and Taking Control of Your Health programs.
“The grant from The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey will enable Cape Assist to continue our important work educating seniors with basic health information and related programs,” said Executive Director, Katie Faldetta, “The WISE and Taking Control of Your Health programs will benefit older adults in Cape May County.”
During the six-week interactive lessons, trained prevention specialists will educate adults, 51 years of age or older, on self-care for chronic conditions, safe use of medications, how to complete health-related forms and how to have productive conversations with their doctors.

“Cape Assist is recognized throughout Cape May County for its tireless work in helping those in the community lead better, healthier lives,” said Jonathan R. Pearson, Executive Director of The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey. “The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey is committed to supporting charitable organizations like Cape Assist that have a positive impact the lives of people in New Jersey.”
