Serving Seniors Alliance Co-operative

Trusted member CARP shared this wonderful photo and story about their Board Member Rev Dianne Parker. We especially like the symbolism of the shepherd's crook being used to deliver the package.

Today (Thursday, October 1) is National Seniors Day! Serving Seniors Alliance is a group of businesses who provide all or a portion of their services to seniors and their families. Our members provide services to independent living older adults, those who may need some type of support or those who may need a lot of support.
