SilverSource Opens Nominations for 2025 Awards to Honor Contributions to Older Adults

SilverSource, a leading organization dedicated to supporting older adults in the Stamford area, has initiated the nomination process for its 2025 SilverSource Awards. These awards are designed to celebrate the remarkable efforts of individuals and organizations that have made a profound impact on the lives of seniors in lower Fairfield County. The awards ceremony, part of the annual 'Inspiring Lives' Luncheon in May, serves as a platform to acknowledge those who go above and beyond in ensuring the safety and well-being of the older adult community.

The awards are categorized into three distinct honors: The SilverSource Outstanding Organization Award, The SilverSource Outstanding Individual Award, and The SilverSource Outstanding Volunteer Award. Each category is tailored to recognize different forms of contribution, from organizational support to individual volunteerism, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for seniors. The nomination process is open to the public, free of charge, and encourages community participation in highlighting those who make a difference.

Kathleen Bordelon, CEO of SilverSource, underscores the significance of these awards in shedding light on the essential services and support systems needed by the aging population. With the deadline for nominations set for February 14, 2025, the community is invited to participate in this meaningful recognition process. A panel of experts in senior care will review the nominations, ensuring that the awards align with SilverSource's mission to support and honor the elderly.

Beyond the awards, SilverSource's commitment to the senior community is evident through its comprehensive services, including housing security, utility assistance, and the 'Ride to Wellness' program, which provides free transportation for medical appointments. These initiatives reflect the organization's dedication to addressing the multifaceted needs of older adults.

The SilverSource Awards not only celebrate individual and organizational achievements but also aim to inspire broader community engagement in supporting seniors. As the population ages, the importance of such recognition and the need for robust support networks become increasingly apparent. This initiative highlights the critical role of community involvement in fostering an environment where older adults are valued, respected, and cared for, setting a precedent for age-friendly communities in lower Fairfield County and beyond.
