SECU Foundation recently awarded a $500,000 grant to Senior Services, a Forsyth County non-profit offering programs that respond to the needs of the elderly and their caregivers. The grant will support the campus expansion of a new Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness to provide comprehensive care for underserved and vulnerable seniors.
Through the Center, the non-profit will offer collaborative senior adult services for physical health, dementia care, and experiential arts education, respite services for caregivers, and clinical services across the age spectrum.
“Senior Services has been a valuable resource in the greater Winston-Salem community for many years, and the demand for their services continues to escalate,” said Damian Carter, SECU regional senior vice president. “We are pleased to support their campus expansion as they work diligently to bring comfort and security to senior adults and their families.”
“We are honored and thrilled to have the SECU Foundation work with us to complete the construction of our new one-of-its-kind Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness,” said T. Lee Covington, Senior Services president and CEO. “SECU Foundation has a history of supporting impactful community projects. We believe our new Center will have a tremendous impact on the Forsyth County community, building on our 60-year history of helping older adults remain at home, living with dignity, and aging with purpose.”
