Our Impact

While many focus on the biology of aging, important social and economic needs of a growing older population are not being met. But The SoFIA’s economic security, civic engagement, and caregiving programs are helping everyone thrive as they age.

76%

of 250 seniors increased their connectivity to family and friends

We help older adults stay connected and gain economic independence in a world that now requires digital literacy in order to thrive. In 2018, we launched tech training and taught over 250 older adult students to date.

89%

of 500+ Clients feel less lonely and isolated

We help families help their loved ones live independently by caring for a veteran family member, a disabled child, or homebound adult, with social engagement, recreation, respite, information and advocacy.

750+

children learned reading and life skills

We help older adults remain civically engaged through our volunteer programs, which help children learn, support veterans to succeed in life and assist other seniors as they learn to use technology.
