Welcome Our Newest Nonprofit: SASI (Services for Adults Staying in Their Homes) is Seeking Compassionate Volunteers to Make Living Easier for Older Adults Living in Their Homes

The mission of SASI (Services for Adults Staying in Their Homes) is to support the efforts of older adults to remain in their homes: we make living easier.

SASI works to achieve its Mission with two core programs, Home Care (HC) and Senior Connections (SC). HC provides licensed affordable home care that enables an older adult to remain at home, where they want to be, sometimes avoiding unneeded institutionalization. SC trains volunteers to be friendly visitors to isolated seniors. In addition to our two core programs SASI sponsors free community events including technology classes, writing groups and other programs.

Volunteers are Integral to Our Organization.  Volunteer opportunities available include:

Senior Connections Volunteers
Volunteer Drivers
Volunteer Writing Group Facilitators
Volunteer Transcribers
Special Event Volunteers
Board of Director Members
Office Volunteers

Visit our website to fill out a volunteer application at: www.SASIathome.org
OR call SASI at (847) 864-7274 for an appointment to fill out an application.

Are you feeling particularly grateful this Thanksgiving?  Are you looking for ways to make a difference to someone in need?  We are too!  We’re joining with 2 of our VC Nonprofit Partners to provide nutritious food to families right here in our community — and we need your help.    You can donate fresh produce and personal items to the NEW TRIER TOWNSHIP FOOD PANTRY in Winnetka Thursday 11/15, Friday 11/16 and Today 11/19.  Or you can deliver bags of groceries to families at GOOD NEWS PARTNERS in Rogers Park on Thanksgiving morning.  Or better yet — why not do both!

Looking for Volunteers?

	

		


If you’re looking for volunteers or interns, our annual Volunteer and Internship Fair is a great way to connect with volunteers looking for ways to make a difference.  This event usually takes place in April, and is a great opportunity to recruit high school and college students, and young adults for the summer or the year.   Exhibiting is free for all of our nonprofit partners!  Watch the website for an announcement of next year’s date.
