The impact of the pandemic has affected our senior citizens greatly. The elder outreach program at South County High school wanted to support the elders in their community by creating the Elder Outreach Program.

As elders were confined to their homes during the pandemic and unable to interact with their families, these students made sure they didn’t feel forgotten. They began writing handwritten letters and delivering them to homes in the community.

The vice president, Gavin, has been a part of the club for two years, and he finds it fulfilling to see the smile on the elders’ faces and see the impact they have on their lives.

We appreciate everything that they are doing in the community and want to support their awesome initiative. We surprised the students from South County High School with goody bags to deliver to the senior citizens.
