Kamloops & District Seniors Outreach Services Society (SOS) is a non profit agency incorporated in 1987, initially funded by the New Horizon project. It began through the efforts of community professionals recognizing there was a need for peer counseling for seniors. Over the years, through the dedication and interest of volunteers, other programs were developed, maintaining our objective of “Seniors Helping Seniors.”

SOS mandate is: Dedicated, caring volunteers helping seniors (age 55+) in the community to maintain independence in daily living through Seniors Outreach Services (SOS) support, service, communication, or referral.

The following is a detailed list of the SOS programs that have been developed to encourage and enhance the well being of seniors in the community:
