As a nonprofit, community-supported organization, Surrey Services depends on a large and growing number of people who believe in “neighbor helping neighbor.” The community’s gift of volunteer commitment and financial support allows Surrey to deliver services at low cost to older residents in the area, and on a sliding fee scale to those who are in financial need. This is critical given that more than half of Surrey’s members, whose average age is 80, have incomes of $20,000 or less.

Surrey’s commitment to the health and well-being of the community we serve is well illustrated by the range of activities offered. Active people involved with others and in touch with their world usually enjoy the mental health necessary to maintain their independence. At times of change – loss of a lifetime partner or friends, downsizing one’s home, declining health – it is particularly important to rebuild. Surrey offers a supportive, welcoming environment and the companionship of others who are also making this transition.

Our goal is to help people create a new world for themselves - to make new friends, enjoy new experiences and build on their sense of self-worth, not just through involvement in the activity, but by helping others.

We’ll organize the activity, provide transportation and, because our mission is to make these programs available to everyone regardless of their ability to pay, we’ll even subsidize any fees as needed.
