SOAR Together’s mission is as inspiring as it is far-reaching. They’ve taken up the noble cause of battling the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation that can affect individuals in our community. With a heartwarming dedication to ending this crisis, they’ve been spreading smiles, one connection at a time.
SOAR recognizes that the power of connection and a sense of belonging can work wonders. Their programming, both in-person and virtual, serves adults who are at high risk of experiencing loneliness and isolation. What’s remarkable is their commitment to inclusivity. Their approach ensures that their programs are accessible to a wide range of participant cohorts, all bound together by the common thread of a need for social connection.
One of their heartwarming initiatives, the “Flower Power” program, truly embodies the spirit of giving. SOAR Together crafts individually-designed flower arrangements and delivers them to isolated individuals in Fairfield County. To date, Flower Power has brought smiles to the faces of those in Waveny, Hancock Hall, Filosa Nursing Homes, RVNA Health, Open Doors Shelter, Meals on Wheels, and Norwalk Hospital.
But the connection doesn’t stop there. SOAR Together also hosts engaging online gatherings that cater to a variety of interests, including cooking, art, and dance. These virtual meet-ups create a sense of community and provide an opportunity for individuals to explore their passions and talents, all while connecting with others who share their interests.
