On Sunday, June 11th, Jill Skinner, the Executive Director for Drive a Senior ATX, will be joining us to share their mission and impact on the community. Drive a Senior ATX is a community-based service organization that works to help the seniors in our community age in place by providing transportation and other support services.
And while lack of transportation is just one of the challenges facing our aging community, research shows that social isolation and loneliness have a serious impact on older people’s longevity, their physical and mental health and their quality of life. DASATX successfully addresses these issues through their dedicated and compassionate volunteers and a personalized approach to connecting with their clients through in-home visits, phone calls and social gatherings. Drive a Senior ATX believes everyone should feel a sense of community and belonging.
DASATX currently serves over 600 clients but there are many more who can benefit from their services. They rely on the generosity of individuals, communities of faith and corporations to make their work possible.
