Fostering independence and self-sufficiency, enabling seniors within the City of Alexandria to age with dignity.

Founded in 1968, SSA strives to be the trusted, independent point of reference for Alexandria's senior citizens so they can live safe, healthy, self-sufficient lives. SSA wants seniors, their family members, and caregivers to have access to the resources needed to make informed decisions when self-sufficient living is no longer possible. To fulfill this role, the organization operates programs that provide safe and reliable low-cost transportation for seniors, as well as the mentally- and physically-impaired; nutritional meals to any homebound senior facing food insecurity; services to improve at-home quality of living and financial stability; free educational events; as well as a point of contact knowledgeable of the full range of businesses, government services, independent programs for seniors in Alexandria.
