Seniors in Service is proud to partner with Humana Foundation to bring isolated seniors and veterans the vital support they need, offering both companionship and nutritious food to help them stay connected, healthy, and thriving. We are thrilled to announce that Seniors in Service has received a 2-year grant from Humana Foundation, totaling $270,000.
Thanks to this grant, we’ll be able to provide fresh produce deliveries to seniors and veterans each year, ensuring they have access to nutritious food. With our focus on companionship, we’ll also help fight isolation by matching volunteers with seniors and veterans who are in need of friendship and support through our companionship programs.
Social connection is a lifeline for seniors, especially those managing chronic conditions. When folks are dealing with ongoing health issues, isolation can make everything feel a little heavier. But having someone to talk to, share a meal with, or just check in on them can make all the difference. It’s more than just company—it’s about boosting their mental health, reducing stress, and even helping them stick to their medical routines. Strong social ties can really brighten their days and improve their overall well-being.
Good nutrition is the cornerstone of a healthy, happy life, especially for seniors. It’s more than just putting food on the table—it’s about giving them the strength and energy to enjoy their days, whether that’s spending time with friends and family, helping their community, or simply feeling their best. Nutritious meals can help keep health issues like diabetes and heart disease at bay, and a good meal can lift the spirit, too. When we make sure seniors have access to fresh, wholesome food, we’re helping them live their fullest lives with vitality and joy.
This partnership with Humana Foundation is a powerful step forward for our mission, and we couldn’t be more excited about the positive impact it will have on the lives of those we serve. We look forward to sharing updates and success stories as we embark on this journey. Together, with Humana Foundation’s support, we are making strides toward a healthier, more connected community.
