Having support is key to maintaining your own emotional & physical health.

Our Caregiver advocates offer free, confidential and personalized services to unpaid caregivers residing in King County who are caring for an adult 18 years old or older.

Whether you do the grocery shopping for your parents, run errands for a neighbor, or are caring for a spouse with a chronic condition, we are here for you. We listen to you and your family, and help you identify goals to improve your caregiving experience.

Sound Generations supports people on their aging journey through community connections and accessible services.

We are the most comprehensive non-profit agency serving older adults, people with disabilities and their loved ones in Washington State. Established in 1967, we promote positive aging for thousands of seniors and their families each year through our integrated system of quality programs and senior centers. Our work is made possible by more than 200 employees and 2,300 volunteers.

Community Dining is comprised of 19 dining sites that pre-pandemic, were congregate meals sites to increase socialization and peer connections. Most of them now function as congregate AND delivery or to-go meal service sites. What makes this program so unique is that each site’s meals cater to the cultural or ethnic group represented by the individuals that frequent the site.

That said, we have seen a huge increase in marginalized and underserved populations of older adults accessing the meals while showing and needing more than just a meal. Currently, there are no senior centers that make assisting East African Seniors a priority. We see a need to expand our robust senior programming for those who present seen and unseen needs beyond a meal in this community. With your support we hope to raise over the $225,000 needed in seed money to launch phase one of programming. Support us today at https://app.mobilecause.com/f/1o3y/n?vid=s4a2c
