What Senior Citizens does

Senior Citizens, Inc. (SCI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1959 in Savannah, Georgia, that delivers a comprehensive continuum of aging-in-place services to older adults across four coastal Georgia counties (Chatham, Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty). The service portfolio spans nutrition (Meals on Wheels, with nearly 7 million cumulative meals delivered), clinical and personal care (Adult Day Health, DayBreak Respite Care, In-Home Care, Aging Life Care, Care Navigators), community engagement (Neighborhood Centers, The Learning Center with 600+ members and 250+ annual classes), and volunteer-driven support (Senior Angels, Senior Companions). Operationally, SCI runs a centralized kitchen and delivery infrastructure, multiple physical program sites (including locations on Skidaway Island and in Liberty County), and a 51–100 person staff under President Patti Lyons. Technology is not a material axis of the business; service delivery is human-led and supported by phone/email intake, a website, and a newsletter.

The business model is a hybrid of program service fees (including a $75/year Learning Center membership), government grants (Older Americans Act and Medicaid waiver streams), tax-deductible donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations (including stock, vehicle, planned giving, and Amazon Smile), and corporate/event sponsorships (e.g., Gulfstream Aerospace, The Kole Family for the 65th anniversary). The go-to-market motion is community-led and direct-to-consumer: referrals from healthcare providers and social services, word-of-mouth across the four-county catchment, and a volunteer delivery force that doubles as a daily wellness-check channel. SCI holds an official affiliation with Meals on Wheels America, partnerships with the City of Savannah, United Way of the Coastal Empire, and Savannah State University, and venue relationships with Skidaway Island Community Church — collectively anchoring its funding, brand, and program supply lines.
