Serving Our Seniors (formerly known as Mid-Cities Care Corp) provides transportation for senior citizens to scheduled routine medical appointments and "quality of life" rides (grocery shopping, banking, trips to the pharmacy, etc.) within Northeast Tarrant County cities of: Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, Keller, N Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Southlake and Watauga.
Transportation is provided by caring volunteers who provide their vehicle, time, and gas to transport senior neighbors.
A typical volunteer drive includes picking the client up at their residence, driving the client to the appointment, staying with them the duration of the appointment, and returning the client to their residence. An individual with 3 hours a month to spare is considered a potential volunteer candidate for SOS. The average time for a volunteer drive is 3 hours. Our clients schedule all their appointments Monday through Friday between the hours of 9a.m. and 3p.m. Volunteers have the flexibility to accept or decline drive opportunities based upon their personal schedules.
All volunteers must pass a criminal background check and have a clean driving record.
SOS does not income qualify clients and never charges for services because we recognize that most of our clients are on limited income.

Mission Statement
The mission of Serving Our Seniors (formerly Mid-Cities Care Corps) is to preserve the independence and well-being of our senior neighbors in Northeast Tarrant County.
Description
Serving Our Seniors is a non-profit organization established in 1981 with a mission to preserve the independence and well-being of our senior neighbors in Northeast Tarrant County. We have a vision that with a little help, most senior citizens can maintain their independence and live in their own homes. We accomplish this through three key program areas: Transportation, Helping Hands, and Social Outreach. Transportation provides rides for senior citizens to routine doctor appointments and quality of life visits including grocery store, pharmacy, bank and post office visits. A friendly volunteer picks them up, transports them, and waits with them during their appointment (just like a family member would). Helping Hands provides minor home repairs, seasonal lawn maintenance, wheelchair ramps, grab bar and handrail installations. Social Outreach includes monthly social events and quarterly Visiting Friends programs where we link our senior clients with a volunteer for a home visit. We find that our volunteers are just as blessed by their time spent with our clients as our clients are blessed by them!
