Your Donation Will Make A
Difference
Dear Friends,
Every day a growing number of families in our community
are faced with challenging decisions related to aging.
More than just a “senior center,” Senior Citizens
Services has been providing invaluable support services
for almost 40 years to help these families. Faced with
the rapidly increasing aging population, each year it
becomes more and more difficult to raise the additional
dollars we need to continue. Thankfully, there are
people like you who care and can help.
We offer help when it is needed the most!
Perhaps we have helped you or someone you know with a
difficult situation: placing a loved one in a nursing
home; dealing with end-of-life decisions; providing care
for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease; giving a box
of food when someone’s money has all been used for
medicine; or just listening and “being there.” These are
only a few examples of how we impact lives everyday by
providing help when it is needed the most.
We also help strengthen the entire community through our
healthy aging programs!
Many who participate in our wellness programs have
experienced dramatic results. These results include
significant weight loss, success in lowering blood
pressure and cholesterol, better balance and
flexibility, and improved mental acuity. Healthy aging
strengthens the entire community.
As a non-profit agency, Senior Citizens Services
operates three important “Via” program areas, all
located at 1717 Dauphin Street in Mobile. Your donation
will be used specifically for these programs. The Via
programs are as follows:
• The Via Health, Fitness and Enrichment Center is a
multi-purpose community center: a place for a hot meal;
a clinic to keep check on health through routine
screenings; a fitness center and classes to maintain
physical fitness; social and recreational activities;
and continuous learning opportunities to keep the mind
active and sharp.
• Via Services includes: Grandfriends, a daily adult
care program for those with early Alzheimer’s disease,
dementia, and other physical challenges; home care
services for disabled and homebound elderly; food,
utility and shelter assistance to help in an emergency;
and transportation.
• Via Solutions is a resource center that provides
personal case management assistance to individuals and
families who just need a little help finding local
resources within the aging network.
Your donation to the Generations Foundation will help us
continue providing the same level of programs we have
offered over the years. Only 36 percent of our funding
support comes from local governmental resources,
therefore donations from our friends and supporters are
vital. Your gift of $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or more
will positively impact the quality of life for hundreds
of your friends and neighbors during the year ahead.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Sheila P. Sears
Executive Director
