This organization is phenomenal. They not only advocate for seniors but actually give us hope and joy. The compassionate staff go above and beyond to help with any need a senior may have. They have a home safety program building ramps and installing grab bars, fixing plumbing issues and AC problems for seniors, deliver a hot meal daily to local homebound seniors along with a wellness check, serve danish and coffee in the am and a fresh hot lunch during the week on-site, they have a food pantry specifically for seniors, pet food pantry, a cell phone and computer class, and more activities than you can shake a stick at. They try to plan something fun every month and give folks a reason to want to keep going. They do everything to help keep money in my pocket from register me for food stamps, filling out energy assistance forms to pay my power, give me groceries and paper products to help cut back my food expenses, and the list goes on and on. They provide connections-real heart felt, helping hand wonderful connections. Thank you SCBC, you make life worth living!

I started volunteering here as a Meals on Wheels driver in 2013. I thought it would be a noble sacrifice of my time. It's no sacrifice, it's a true pleasure. It's 45 minutes, one day a week. The joy I get seeing these great seniors, chatting with them, bringing them a hot meal--it can't be matched. The folks at SCBC always thank me, as do the seniors on my route.

You are actually making a difference in someone's life. It is the ultimate cure for all the cynicism a person encounters in their everyday.

I look at it this way. I can't do a thing about so many rotten events going on around the planet. No world leader is seeking my input. But I can do a good thing here in my town. In that way, I am making the world a better place, a little bit at a time. All I can say to the seniors and SCBC is "thank you!"
