The Response
Project 10:27 is passionately committed to mitigating the severe and life-threatening loneliness and isolation epidemic among the homebound senior adult population in San Antonio. Through the organization’s comprehensive suite of programs, we aim to achieve several pivotal outcomes that address the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being of our valued senior citizens.
Project 10:27 Strategic Outcomes
1. Alleviation of Loneliness and Social Isolation:
Through initiatives like Caring Connections Call Program and Caring Connections Card Program, we aspire to curtail the sense of isolation by ensuring that seniors receive regular communications from empathetic volunteers. These personal interactions are crucial for making them feel valued and connected to a community, thus lowering the loneliness index amongst our beneficiaries.
2. Improvement in Mental and Emotional Health:
We acknowledge that loneliness can be a catalyst for depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. By establishing regular touchpoints and authentic relationships, we seek to enhance the mental health and emotional stability of the seniors, ensuring they have the support needed to navigate the challenges they face.
3. Enrichment of Spiritual Well-being:
Through our Discipleship program, we aim to provide an avenue for seniors to explore and deepen their spirituality. This program intends to foster a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives, which is essential for improving life satisfaction and overall happiness.
4. Strengthening Community Ties through Adoption Program:
The Adopt A Senior Program is designed to cultivate long-lasting relationships between volunteers and senior adults. The program aspires not only to bring joy to the lives of lonely seniors but also to create a culture of empathy and service within the community.
5. Engagement and Empowerment of Volunteers:
Through participation in various programs, Project 10:27 seeks to empower individual volunteers, enabling them to leverage their skills and spiritual gifts in service to others. This engagement is not just beneficial for the seniors but also enriches the lives of the volunteers, providing them with a sense of purpose and fulfillment in making a tangible difference.
