The Companion Line is a nonprofit senior defense project providing cash allotments, benefit comparisons, items of comfort, home safety and legal clarification for seniors.

At 73 million individuals, or 23% of the population, seniors are the nation's largest and fastest growing age group. California has more seniors than any other state - three million and growing. This is a nationwide situation that continues to escalate.

The Companion Line renders service to seniors who are being victimized by unscrupulous individuals or living in an unacceptable situation.

The capital and items of comfort are generated from donations and distributed directly through personal contact with seniors at their residence, on the street or through the mail.

All programs are coordinated by Project Director Timothy Nicely, who's experience and education in humanitarian affairs has earned him awards from the March of Dimes and YMCA, as well as commendations for the City of Los Angeles.
