In early April, we received a call from Mrs. A., a 92-year-old woman seeking assistance with food. With a monthly income of $1,400, she had very little left for groceries after paying her household bills.

       We enrolled Mrs. A. in our Food & More program, which provides grocery shopping twice a month for homebound clients. She was matched with a wonderful volunteer who calls before each visit to get her grocery list, then shops for the items she needs, and delivers them directly to her home. The “More” in Food & More refers to the meaningful social connection SOAR volunteers provide when delivering groceries, while also giving volunteers the opportunity to identify additional needs seniors may have, allowing us to connect them with further support services.

       After her first grocery delivery, Mrs. A. told the volunteer, “This is great, I won’t worry about getting food anymore.”

Thank you to all who came out to support our mission at the

SOAR’s Transportation Program offers free rides to medical appointments for

low-income seniors who do not own a car or are no longer able to drive.

We recognize that some seniors need more than just transportation, they benefit from door-to-door assistance and support during their appointments. With this in mind, we offer the option of caregiver-assisted transportation, ensuring seniors have a companion to help them safely get to and from medical visits.

  SOAR is looking for caring and dependable volunteer drivers for our transportation program. Your time and support can make a meaningful difference in helping seniors get to important medical appointments. If you are interested in volunteering, please apply here.

SOAR is the grateful recipient of a minivan, which allows us to offer our volunteers the option of using their own car or the SOAR minivan when transporting our seniors to their appointments.

We are sincerely grateful to Mark and Susan Butt and the Rotary Club of Frederick for making this possible.
