Serving Our Seniors (formerly Mid-Cities Care Corps)

Serving Our Seniors is a non-profit organization established in 1981 with a mission to preserve the independence and well-being of our senior neighbors in Northeast Tarrant County. We have a vision that with a little help, most senior citizens can maintain their independence and live in their own homes. We accomplish this through three key program areas: Transportation, Helping Hands, and Social Outreach. Transportation provides rides for senior citizens to routine doctor appointments and quality of life visits including grocery store, pharmacy, bank and post office visits. A friendly volunteer picks them up, transports them, and waits with them during their appointment (just like a family member would). Helping Hands provides minor home repairs, seasonal lawn maintenance, wheelchair ramps, grab bar and handrail installations. Social Outreach includes monthly social events and quarterly Visiting Friends programs where we link our senior clients with a volunteer for a home visit. We find that our volunteers are just as blessed by their time spent with our clients as our clients are blessed by them!
