This ministry focuses on two service areas: 1) providing and coordinating social activities and events for the seniors and 2) addressing specific needs of the seniors. SOM currently provides transportation to/from church, doctor's appointment and grocery. Yard care, minor home repair, telephone and visitation support are also provided.
