WHY SUPPORT: The fact that loneliness has recently been designated an epidemic by the  US Surgeon General isn’t surprising, but that doesn’t make it any less remarkable or devastating. The pandemic pulled back the veil on a national level of what daily life looks like for millions of Americans on a personal basis. Life can be lonely, exceedingly lonely, and the outcomes from a physical and mental health toll are staggering. 

​

YOUR IMMEDIATE IMPACT: SOAR was able to touch over 9,000 lives in our first year through concrete solutions and proven avenues to successfully ending epidemic levels of loneliness.  It will take a passionate and systematic commitment on the part of communities and service providers, but the outcomes can absolutely be reversed one personal connection at a time.

GROWING ROOTS & SOARING BEYOND: SOAR Together has a mission of putting an end to a health epidemic one social gathering at a time, producing an exponential ripple effect of improved moods, elevated spirits, newly-formed and lasting connections and long-term healing for individuals, families, and communities. 

The SOAR Together model of "exponential outreach program delivery" works as it positively impacts the lives of those who participate, volunteer, create, and receive.  SOAR is constantly scaling to meet both the immediate and longer-term needs of individuals and communities across zip codes and eventually state lines.
