Senior Resources

What Senior Resources does

Senior Resources, Inc. is a Columbia, South Carolina-based nonprofit organization founded in 1958 that delivers a coordinated portfolio of nutrition and support services to older adults in Richland County. Its core offering is Meals on Wheels, which served more than 1,100 homebound seniors and accounted for the bulk of 207,585 meals delivered in the most recent reporting year; supplementary meal services include Community Dining & Wellness across five neighborhood recreation centers, the Senior Lunch Bunch restaurant-based group dining program (launched August 2021 in partnership with Lizard's Thicket), the Senior Home Nutrition (Discharge Meal) Program providing eight weeks of post-hospital meals in partnership with the South Carolina Department on Aging and LexHealth, and the Senior Care Pantry. The organization layers support services on top of meals, including transportation to wellness centers, AmeriCorps Seniors-administered Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion volunteer programs, and Pet Pals, which supplies pet food to Meals on Wheels clients.

The operating model depends on a volunteer network of more than 50 daily drivers and 133,902 annual volunteer hours, routed through three church-based distribution sites (Millwood, Spring Valley Presbyterian, Westminster Presbyterian). The proprietary ServTracker Mobile Meals application supports route management and delivery tracking, while an AI-assisted chat feature handles website inquiries. Revenue is generated through a mix of government grants (Central Midlands Council of Governments, City of Columbia, Richland County, SCDOA, Corporation for National and Community Service), United Way of the Midlands funding, individual and corporate donations via the CharityProud platform, and special-event fundraising including the March for Meals 5K and the Biscuits & Bluegrass annual event presented by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina.

The organization is led by Executive Director Andrew Boozer and has an 11-50 employee headcount, with named program leads in volunteer coordination (Evan Dilworth), community-based services (Mekia Burgess), development (Becky Morrison), and senior home nutrition (Sarah Fling). In 2026 Senior Resources publicly disclosed service reductions tied to funding constraints, including the wind-down of Home Care, evaluation of Pet Pals, and notification to 104 seniors that their meal service would end, signaling acute revenue pressure on the operating model.
