There are many ways you can help the seniors in our community,
Listed below are some great ideas you can do to make a real difference.
Home Repair: Repair projects help a senior stay in his/her own home safely and comfortably. Volunteers contribute labor and your gift helps seniors pay for materials. 
Transportation: Between our lift van and volunteer drivers, SAS provided over 6,500 rides in the past year. Expenses have dramatically increased and your donation helps pay for maintenance and gasoline so that we can continue to help seniors commute safely to their appointments and outings.
Special Events
The 2008 Bookworm Bash is scheduled for November 7 - 8, 2008. Sponsors are needed to help underwrite or volunteer at the event. Donate the books you’ve read and come buy some more books at the big sale!

- Make an individualized basket of gift items for the senior. You can be part of delivering them too.
Over 300 individual gift baskets are delivered to seniors receiving services from Senior Adult Services. - Ensure the Senior Adult Services vans sparkle and dazzle inside and out so that our senior riders travel in style and comfort. Set up a day to wash and clean them!
- Prepare “de-stress” care packets for senior’s caregivers. Suggested items include: bubble bath, lotion, humor books, funny movies, relaxation CDs, a gift certificate for an ice cream shop or a quiet restaurant.
- Hold a used-book party and collect children’s books, cook books, mystery/thrillers, sci-fi, westerns, non-fiction, romance books or any other kind of book to donate to the annual November Bookworm Bash when we sell those books. Then come in November and buy more books! Collect them now and we’ll store them in our warehouse space.
- Manage a book drive at your school, business or church. Collect and sort books and help with the book sale in November. Come volunteer at the book sale too!
- Let a lonely senior know you care by arranging some time for a small group to visit a senior at home.
- Use your creativity. Think of a new and different opportunity that would enhance the lives of seniors and their caregivers.
Your donation of any kind and at any level is sincerely appreciated and gratefully accepted.
