Support Homeless Older Adults & Homebound Clients
Join us in making a meaningful impact in the lives of older adults served by Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia. By donating essential care items, you’ll help ensure that every senior in our care receives the dignity, comfort, and support they deserve.
Many older adults in our region struggle to maintain their health, independence, and quality of life due to limited access to basic necessities. Without hygiene products, nutritional support, weather-appropriate clothing, or first aid supplies, homebound and homeless seniors are especially vulnerable to illness, isolation, and hardship.
Your donation helps meet these critical needs—empowering older adults to age safely and with dignity. Our goal: 100 care bags, 100 chances to make a difference—will you help us get there?!
