The Harwich Council on Aging was established by Town Meeting in May 1971 and serves as a community service for Harwich Seniors and their families. The day-to-day work is carried out by a professional staff consisting of a director, clerk-typist, outreach coordinator, outreach worker and friendly visitor coordinator.

The COA Mission has three core responsibilities:

To identify the needs of older people and connect them with the available resources within the community.
To educate the community at large in the aging process and the needs of its older citizens.
To design, promote, and put in place services that are needed and to coordinate the efforts of agencies which serve older people
