The City of Alexandria’s senior population has grown to over 23,000 individuals – and more than 5,000 of these seniors live alone!
Senior Services of Alexandria, with more than 15 years’ experience delivering food to seniors, is pleased to announce the launch of a bold initiative called Caring Connection. This new sister program to Meals on Wheels will serve the City of Alexandria’s most vulnerable seniors. For more information, please see our full press release.
Caring Connection offers daily meal delivery, but goes beyond the standard Meals on Wheels program to provide personalized health and safety checks managed by dedicated staff as part of the scheduled deliveries.

“In my profession, I see the need for Caring Connection services every day. This is such a vulnerable population and Caring Connection can help NOW. Implementing this program today will allow us to stay ahead of the curve with the growing demand in the coming years. Otherwise, we will be playing catch up in crisis.”
