Older Adult Care
Connecting vulnerable neighbors with resources that enhance their quality of life is a priority. The Branch of Nashville supports older adults in our community with food assistance, resource navigation, and social engagement.
Enriching the Lives of Older Adults
We cherish the wisdom and lived experience of older adults, and we love helping our neighbors thrive as they age.
We deliver food to up to 90 older adults each month.
We host monthly “Meet and Greet” events for older adults to encourage ongoing learning and connection.
Practical Support for Healthy Aging
We work hard to ensure our older adult neighbors have access to our services.
FOOD PICKUP AND DELIVERY
Older adults (60+) don’t need an appointment to pick up food on Wednesdays. We also offer food delivery to qualifying seniors and people with disabilities.
RESOURCE NAVIGATION
Understanding and successfully accessing complex systems like Social Security, Medicare, and more doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We help older adults navigate resources like housing, utilities assistance, medical care, transportation and more.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
We prioritize community-building for older adults through social gatherings, one-on-one care partners, and Love Your Neighbor teams.

We Love Our Senior Volunteers!
