Why support Senior Services for South Sound?

Senior Services for South Sound is a non-profit organization that  has been dedicated to supporting seniors in our community for more than 50 years. We operate seniors centers in Olympia and Lacey, which offer many activities, classes and programs. Each year, we feed thousands of seniors through community dining and Meals on Wheels. We envision a South Sound where people are empowered and engaged in the community as they age, valued for their wisdom and experience, and have a positive sense of self-worth.

This year, we are particularly focused on battling isolation and loneliness among seniors. New research has shown the profound health impacts these cause, and the Surgeon General has declared them a public health crisis. Support from you helps us keep seniors active and engaged, which has been shown to decrease the risk of such conditions as heart disease, strokes and dementia.
