Silver Key Needs Help to “Stock the Pantry”!

June 4, 2012, Colorado Springs, CO – For over forty years, Silver Key Senior Services has been providing much needed nutrition assistance to seniors in crisis in the greater Colorado Springs area.

Every week, Monday through Friday, the vans and buses of Silver Key Senior Services hit the road at 7:45 a.m. for their first pick up of the day.  They are on their way to take seniors to doctors’ appointments, the grocery store, social outings, and work.  On any given day, roughly 175 - 200 seniors are driven around town to these vital appointments.  Unfortunately, the daily need for rides is closer to 250 seniors.  That means that every day, 50 to 75 seniors are not able to leave their homes…See More
