How You Can Help

Gifts from Individuals

Senior Services of Alexandria receives and greatly appreciates donations of all sizes, year-'round. It is the financial support provided by community members, their families, and friends that allows SSA to continue its programs and services for Alexandria's senior citizens. In addition to direct donations, there are many other ways to show your support for SSA.

Celebratory and Remembrance Gifts

Give the gift of giving. Make a special donation to Senior Services of Alexandria in honor or celebration of an exciting event, or to convey your sympathies at the passing of a friend or loved one. By giving a gift of a donation, you show you care about your friend or loved one as well as your community. Gifts can be made in any amount, and if you are unsure of how much to give, contact us. We are happy to work with you to determine an appropriate amount. Senior Services of Alexandria will send a special note card to the specified individual or family in recognition of the gift.

Employer Matching-gift Programs

To further their ability to give back to the community, many businesses operate employer matching-gift programs. Through these programs, employers agree to match an employee's donation to a local non-profit at a predetermined ratio. This is an excellent way for individuals to increase the size and impact of their gift at no personal additional cost. Contact SSA or your HR office to find out if your company offers a matching-gift program.

SSA accepts donations online (see the box below), by mail, or in person. Payments can be made by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or American Express-online only), check, money order, or via stock transfer.
