Senior Neighbors Enhancing the Lives of Older Adults in Kent County, MI Senior Neighbors is here to remind seniors that they are no longer alone.

Since 1972, Senior Neighbors has been committed to providing services to at-risk seniors in Kent County, Michigan. Every year we serve over 4,000 older adults by providing services which support appropriate individual self-sufficiency. Through our case work program, our various other programs, and our five senior centers, we are able to aid seniors in their social, physical, and economic needs.

Say hello to Derrick Collins, another of our fantastic 16 Over 60 honorees!

Derrick Collins came home to Grand Rapids in 2009 to serve the place he grew up. At Disability Advocates of Kent County he connects hundreds of people a year to housing, rides, health care, and benefits, and he founded the Black & Brown Community Partnership Breakfast so the agency's help would reach the neighborhoods it was missing. “Do not let a number decide your life.”

Come and celebrate Derrick and the other incredible members of our 16 Over 60 honorees on November 18.

Introducing Cathy, our next 16 Over 60 honoree!

In 2013, Meijer asked Cathy Cooper whether a golf tournament could feed families. “I will figure it out and find a way.” Eleven tournaments later, the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give has sent more than $13 million to food pantries across the Midwest, and Cathy still runs it as executive director. Her father served on the Senior Neighbors board when she was a girl.

Help us honor Cathy and our other outstanding 16 Over 60 honorees on November 18.

Thirty-five years a Rotarian, founder of the STRIVE mentoring program, and a soccer referee for fifty. “Service Above Self.”
