At Dorchester Seniors, Inc. (DSI), we believe that serving our older adults is not just a mission—it’s a community responsibility. Every program we run, every meal we serve, and every ride we provide is made possible by a network of partnerships that stretch across Dorchester County.

From local businesses and government agencies to civic groups and nonprofits, our collaborators are the heart of what makes DSI thrive.

Building Bridges with Purpose

Whether it’s the town council supporting facility improvements, law enforcement visiting for senior safety workshops, or a small business sponsoring an event, our partners play a vital role. These aren’t just transactional relationships—they are shared commitments to uplifting the lives of those 50 and older in our community.

Our friends at the Department on Aging help ensure critical funding and guidance. Local churches and civic organizations often step in with volunteers, supplies, and space. And businesses—from coffee shops to health providers—have stepped up with donations, services, and time.

Together, we make it possible for seniors to stay active, independent, and connected.

The Power of Partnership in Action

In 2023, our collaborative spirit was recognized with the Community Support Award, which led to the creation of our Second Chance Program. With help from community partners, this pantry has provided more than 280 seniors with weekend meals, hygiene items, and essential supplies—ensuring no senior is left behind.

Another example? Our intergenerational programs wouldn’t be the same without the involvement of local schools and youth organizations. These partnerships bridge generations, reduce isolation, and spark meaningful connections.

What This Means for You

When you support DSI—whether through your business, organization, or personal involvement—you’re not just giving back; you’re becoming part of something bigger. You’re helping us build a stronger, more compassionate Dorchester County.

So, to our current partners: thank you. To those looking to get involved—we’re always ready to connect. Let’s continue to grow together, because community is not just who we serve—it’s how we serve.
