More SVS Services

Here are some things that our clients and staff have benefited from during the pandemic.

Tablets

SVS provides Samsung tablets for each client who wants to continue participating in daily activities and needs help getting online. Over 1800 tablets have been provided so that everyone can stay connected to SVS friends and participate in meaningful activities.

Zoom Gatherings

SVS offers many an opportunity for friendships and a feeling of extended family. During the pandemic, daily Zoom activities have supported social gathering, meaningful activities and connections with the people that have been a big part of our daily lives. SVS programs are offering up to 5-½ hours of virtual activities each day. Activities offered continue to be planned according to personal interests and needs.

Activity Kits

Program activities are planned weeks in advance. Supplies are purchased, assembled and delivered to individual clients at their homes. Activity kits for arts, crafts, science, cooking and other educational projects are worked on together during online Zoom gatherings.

On Site Socials

Families celebrate together. For client birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones, SVS program staff load vans with balloons, gifts, party games and other supplies then host a small party on a client’s front lawn – all while maintaining compliance with any CDC or local health department guidelines.

The effects of COVID-19 have been challenging for everyone but especially for our community, so SVS will continue to work tirelessly offering services until we are all back to a new future.
