Community Thread

The Thrive Program was established in April 2022 to assist older adults and individuals with disabilities living in the Stillwater Area. By engaging volunteers, this membership-based program helps fill requests for basic home assistance, such as cleaning, with the goal of making it easier for individuals to remain living at home. The program engages volunteer drivers who take people to and from needed appointments and to access community services. This program is available to all eligible residents of Stillwater School District 834 and anyone unable to pay the membership fee is subsidized. The program also provides referrals and connections to resources for the public at large and offers the amenities of two Community Centers. These centers provide programs and activities that enhance the well-being of older adults. The Stillwater site also offers free income tax preparation assistance and other services in partnership with other nonprofit organizations.
