Community Volunteers, As I reflect on this year, I am so proud of our accomplishments and collaborations. This year has brought our community some unexpected changes and challenges that we have confronted together. The contributions each of our volunteers have made to support their local communities has been extraordinary! I am forever grateful for the commitment and dedication our volunteers have shown the Hampton Roads Community. More than 350+ volunteers have been involved in delivering food, picking up medications, or checking in on our seniors' well-being. Your efforts have proven to be invaluable to our organization! Thanks to the determination and selfless acts of our volunteers, we have helped save so many lives. Thank you for answering the call to serve our community and the greatest generation.

Community Meals
In March of 2020, we were challenged with the urgent demands and increased needs of our seniors. The community call for volunteers was announced. Many courageous individuals and partners stepped up to support our mission.
Act With Courage
To help seniors remain safely in their homes and combat hunger, volunteers began delivering meals directly to seniors homes. We partnered with Foodbank of Southeastern VA, Mercy Chefs, and Beth Sholom Village. These meals have provided much-needed nourishment to seniors.
Volunteer Covid-19
Comfort Callers
Trust is a bond that must be established with our seniors. Especially during this pandemic, where many seniors suffered isolation with limited to no contact with anyone.
Create Trust
To create Trust and establish an unbreakable bond with our seniors, we created the COVID-19 Comfort Callers. Our Comfort Callers, such as deloitte US(Accounting Firm) and EVMS Medical School Students, contacted seniors daily. Volunteers would call seniors up to 3 times a week to assess their well-being, health/ safety concerns, and meal delivery compliance.
Senior Activity Health
Kits And Household
Supplies
Treating every senior and their caregivers with respect and dignity is a top priority. From our employees to volunteers, EVERY SENIOR AND
Their Caregiver Matters!
Exh Bit Respect
This year, many seniors have not been able to interact with their friends, family, and community. Along with no contact, many seniors have not been able to get much-needed supplies, activity kits, and personal care items. Through various partnerships with the local food bank, pantries, and private donations; Seniors have received many of the supplies desperately needed
Thank you to our new partnerships
Fulton Bank and the Rumi Friendship Association for helping to create kits for our seniors
