Resource and Benefits Program

The Resource and Benefits Program of Davidson County connects seniors with resources and services in this community. Many times, seniors or their families have questions about where to look for services that can help them meet a need. It is the goal of this program to make these resources known and connect people with the services that they are looking for.

Resource and Benefits also has a 79-page Community Directory which references some of these services and can be mailed, emailed or accessed through the DCSS webpage.

Whenever you have a question about a need, please call 336-242-2290 to see if Resource and Benefits can help!

During this time of Covid, Senior Services is also offering expanded services to seniors 65 years of age and up. For those seniors who aren’t able to go out, have a chronic illness, are without family or other support and who need assistance, expanded services can provide grocery shopping or prescription pick-up and delivery every two weeks. For those who are struggling with food insecurity, expanded services can provide a box of shelf stable foods to help. Call our hot line at 336-236-3015 for more information.

Donor Recognitions

The COVID pandemic changed life as we knew it. The word “social distancing” was added to our every day vocabulary, and we learned to never leave home without a mask. Our daily lives were changed as individuals, but the pandemic also affected the way many organizations operated, including Davidson County Senior Services. In March of 2020, Senior Services began offering Expanded Services including meal packs, grocery shopping and delivery, medication pickup and delivery and other essential services. Meals on Wheels and Congregate Nutrition clients began receiving a box of frozen meals each week. The need for personal care items such as adult incontinence supplies and meal replacement shakes began to grow as well as the concern for county older adults’ overall well-being. Thanks to the generosity of local partners, senior needs were met as supplies were donated from the community. This support helps Senior Services further their mission to allow adults to safely age in their own home.

Davidson County Senior Services would like to thank the following partners for their recent donations:

Pastor's Pantry
Good Hope United Methodist Church
Oak Forest United Methodist Church
Animal Care Foundation
Meadowview Presbyterian Church
Salvation Army

Davidson County Senior Services Meals on Wheels wishes to thank Healthcare Industry Professionals Serving Seniors (HIPSS) for their donation of $150 to support homebound Meals on Wheels clients. This donation will be used to help supply more meals for our homebound needy seniors.

HIPSS is a collective group of senior care professionals representing more than 24 organizations in Davidson County. The purpose and mission of HIPSS is to improve the quality of life for the seniors they serve by improving relations and communication between providers and expanding their knowledge base and resources to effectively serve seniors with the utmost dignity and respect.

We appreciate HIPSS service to the community and for choosing Meals on Wheels for their service project donation this year
