A Caring Place - Compassionate Connections

Service Area

We are an interfaith-based non-profit located in the beautiful Blue Grass area of Kentucky.  Our ministry is to reach out to the elderly and disabled who are socially isolated in our community and mitigate or prevent the adverse impact of loneliness. Our goal is to establish a Neighborhood Social Hub in every district of Lexington - Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG). Our pilot Neighborhood Social Hub is located in the Beaumont Park -  Gardenside area of Lexington. 

 

Services Offered

  • Phone Buddies Program: Semi-weekly, 15-minute calls by trained volunteers to provide consistent companionship and early identification of unmet needs. 
  • Social Chit Chat Groups: Bi-weekly, one-hour gatherings at the Resource Center to foster peer connection and reduce loneliness. 
  • Health Literacy Workshops: Monthly, one-hour sessions led by community partners, improving participants’ ability to manage health and navigate services. 
 
  • Neighborhood Engagement Activities: Weekly to monthly small-group activities (e.g., walking groups, coffee chats, gardening, mindfulness, book clubs) designed to build routine social interaction and community belonging. 
 
  • Digital Community Bulletin Board: Ongoing, on-demand coordination of volunteer support for transportation, errands, and daily needs—strengthening neighbor-to-neighbor assistance. 
 
  • One-Stop Resource Navigation: Will connect members to a vetted list of community resources.   We will not solely provide them with a phone number, but call ourselves, and do the initial introduction, assuring a seamless and stress-less approach to navigating the resources available.
