Humana Foundation Helps Build Connected, Healthy Lives

Veterans participate in a hands-on cooking demonstration using air fryers during an Operation: Veteran Connect wellness event in Tampa Bay.

Seniors in Service is proud to partner with Humana Foundation to help seniors and veterans stay healthy, connected, and supported. Thanks to a two-year, $270,000 grant, we'll expand access to nutritious food, meaningful companionship, and resources that help older adults thrive throughout Tampa Bay.

How This Grant Is Improving Lives

Strengthening Social Connections

Social connection is a lifeline for seniors, especially those managing chronic conditions. When people are dealing with ongoing health challenges, isolation can make everything feel a little heavier. Having someone to talk to, share a meal with, or simply check in on them can make all the difference.

It's about more than companionship. Meaningful relationships can improve mental well-being, reduce stress, encourage healthy habits, and help seniors remain engaged with their communities. Strong social connections brighten lives and support overall health.

Expanding Access to Nutritious Food

Good nutrition is the cornerstone of a healthy, active life. For seniors, access to fresh, wholesome food can help support energy levels, maintain independence, and reduce the risk of chronic health complications.

Nutritious meals do more than nourish the body. They provide the foundation seniors need to stay active, enjoy time with family and friends, volunteer in their communities, and continue doing the things they love. When older adults have reliable access to healthy food, they are better equipped to live with vitality and confidence.

Investing in a Healthier, More Connected Community

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.

Over the next two years, this investment will help strengthen social connections, improve access to nutritious food, and support healthier outcomes for seniors and veterans throughout Tampa Bay. We look forward to sharing success stories and celebrating the lives changed through this partnership.

Together, with Humana Foundation's support, we are building a healthier, more connected community.
