Mission Statement
ActionS, Inc. of Brazoria County serves the needs and enriches the lives of the Senior Citizens of Brazoria County. ActionS’ services and programs enable our seniors to remain a part of their community while maintaining their dignity, independence, and purpose of life.
About This Cause
ActionS, Inc of Brazoria County provides nutrition and transportation services to Brazoria County residents 60 and older. We aim to secure and maintain maximum independence and dignity in a home environment for older individuals capable of self-care with appropriate supportive services. Every service we provide is free to the senior. The portion of the population is so often forgotten and neglected. We are one of the only programs who provide services to the senior population in our county and we do this strictly through grants and individual donors. The services we provide fall under one of three programs; Homebound Meals, Congregate Meals, and Senior Transportation. Homebound Meals: We deliver homebound meals all across our 1400 square mile county. On average we are nearly 6000 homebound meals a month. This number continues to climb as funding allows. Sadly, the need is so great in our county that we have over 200 people on the waiting list. Each client on our homebound services also receives 2 reassurance phone calls a week. This helps us to combat Senior Isolation head-on. Congregate Meals: We have 6 senior centers throughout the county. Each of these centers provides a hot, nutritionally balanced meal to each senior daily. We strive to promote nutritional well-being and to delay the onset of adverse health conditions resulting from poor nutritional health or sedentary behavior. We do not ever want Brazoria County seniors to have to go without eating so they can afford another necessity, such as power or medication. Senior Transportation: Each of the 6 ActionS, Inc centers is assigned a van and provides transportation to and from these centers. Many of these seniors would be homebound without our program. Our transportation program provides transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping, the post office, pharmacy, and any other essential trips the seniors may not able to perform on their own. We currently have 4 wheelchair accessible vans in service for this program.
