Description

Serving Our Seniors (SOS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) (EIN 75-1840315) organization with a mission to “preserve the independence and well-being of our Senior Neighbors in Northeast Tarrant County.” We accomplish this through three key programs that are powered by community volunteers.

• Transportation: for routine medical appointments and quality of life drives

• Helping Hands: for minor home repairs, wheelchair ramp construction and yard care

• Social Outreach: connecting and expanding senior networks through volunteer visits, social events, Phone/Visiting Friends Program and the Holiday Outreach Program

We serve seniors in 11 communities including Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, Keller, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Southlake and Watauga. Serving Our Seniors is supported through the generosity of local churches, businesses, civic groups, and individuals. All program services are provided free-of-charge to our Senior Clients.

Every year we host our primary fund raising event, the “Festival of Friends” gala. This year it will be held on October 24th at the Hurst Conference Center.  As part of the fundraising festivities, we have live and silent auctions. Over 300 local attendees will be bidding on these items and all funds go directly to support our three programs.
