Community Thread

About

Community Thread was founded in 1967 when a group of concerned citizens mobilized volunteers to help people no longer able to drive with rides to obtain medical care.

What started as a small volunteer effort has grown into a vital community hub that connects hundreds of residents each year to the support, services, and relationships they need to thrive. Today, we mobilize nearly 400 volunteers annually to improve quality of life for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and families across our region. By combining practical assistance with meaningful social connection, we help people remain independent, engaged, and supported – often preventing isolation and more costly interventions down the line.

Our work is increasingly important as the region’s population continues to grow and age, making volunteer-supported services essential to helping vulnerable residents maintain independence. Click here to view our most recent annual report, and read more about our impact.
