Last week was Global Loneliness Awareness Week, a time to reflect on something many people experience but few talk about openly.    Loneliness doesn’t always look the way people expect. It doesn’t always look like being physically alone. Sometimes it’s just going through the motions of daily life with no one who would notice if you stopped showing up, and as we age loneliness can […]

This week, Vivalon welcomed elected officials from across Marin and beyond to participate in Champions Week, an annual event that brings community leaders onto meal delivery routes to experience firsthand the impact of home-delivered nutrition services.   Over the course of the week, participants loaded meals, knocked on doors, shared conversations, and met the older

May is a time to recognize older adults and the role we all play in supporting one another.   Each May, communities across the country recognize Older Americans Month, a time to reflect on the contributions, resilience, and experiences of older adults.   At Vivalon, this recognition is not confined to a single month. It

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month. It gives us a reason to pause and say thank you, but the truth is, what our volunteers make possible is felt every single day.   At Vivalon, volunteers do so much more than support programs. A knock on the door for a meal delivery, a ride to the grocery

There’s something quietly powerful about the role a Vivalon driver plays in someone’s day. It’s not just about getting from one place to another; it’s about being expected, recognized, and welcomed. At Vivalon, our transportation services are built on that idea, and the people behind the wheel bring it to life every day.      Dee describes it as unlike any job she’s had before.

Dear Friends and Community Partners,   We are actively hiring drivers!   At Vivalon, our drivers are more than transportation providers — they are the heart of what we do.   Every day, they help older adults and people with disabilities get to medical appointments, grocery stores, social programs, and essential services. But beyond the

There’s something powerful about learning something new—especially in a space where you feel welcomed, supported, and at ease.    This year marks Vivalon’s very first Digital Empowerment Week, and we’re excited to invite you to be part of it. It’s a week of hands-on learning designed to help you build confidence with everyday technology. Whether it’s learning about AI, online safety, or tech for healthy living, each day offers simple, practical guidance

On February 28, Vivalon’s community gathered for our 4th Annual Soirée d’Élégance. It was an evening that celebrated compassion, connection, and the belief that no one should have to age alone.   Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our supporters—and a remarkable $500,000 matching gift from Presenting Sponsor Vickie Soulier—we raised over $1.1 million, making

For years, Vivalon’s special luncheons have been a place to mark the seasons with holiday meals, familiar traditions, and moments of celebration shared around the table. In 2026, we’re building on that sense of connection in a new way by introducing a Special Luncheon Art Series that brings food, music, and visual art together into

As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for the people, partnerships, and shared commitment that make Vivalon’s work possible every day. Every ride, every meal, every class, and every friendly conversation reflects a simple promise at the heart of our mission: no one should age alone.    Our 2024–2025 Gratitude Report offers a snapshot of what that promise looks like
