Greater Springfield Senior Services

Contribute

As a nonprofit organization, Greater Springfield Senior Services, Inc. solicits and gratefully accepts donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations. All contributions are tax-deductible.

Donations are used to support programs and services that meet the needs of elders in our service area. Home delivered meals, money management, emergency shelter, and a cold weather fund are just some of the programs our fund raising efforts help support.

You can find out more about how to contribute to GSSSI by calling 413-781-8800 ext. 140.

GSSSI Memorial and Tribute Program

Opportunities are available to make a contribution in memory of a loved one who has passed away or in honor of someone who is still living. Often GSSSI has helped the person in some way. Special acknowledgments are sent promptly to family members or other designated individuals to let them know a generous gift has been made.

The GSSSI Appeal and General Contributions

Every fall and spring, a direct mail appeal is sent to all past donors and emergency contacts of GSSSI clients, including family members and community residents. However, gifts are accepted at all times of the year.

The Gift of Time

Volunteers are the key to promoting independence of elders on a daily basis. Whether a person is volunteering with a specific program, serving on a committee, or helping to promote the organization, the time spent is truly a gift. See Volunteer Opportunities for more information.

GSSSI Nutrition Program

Wheels For Meals Auto, Truck & Boat Donation Program
Donate your auto, truck or boat, receive a tax deduction, and help Greater Springfield Senior Services’ Meals on Wheels program. In addition to helping frail elders receive nutritious meals delivered to their door, you will:

- Avoid the costs, time and responsibility of trying to sell it yourself

- Feel good knowing that portions of funds raised from liquidation of your item will go to help people in need

- Receive a valuable tax deduction

The Helping Hands of America Foundation will pick up your donation and give you all the necessary paperwork and tax documentation to achieve your full tax deduction. For more information, call 888-881-9090.

In addition to cars, trucks and boats, the Foundation will accept donations of RV’s, art objects, estate property, real estate, stocks and bonds, jewelry and more.
