Unlike other seniors associations of its kind, the GWSA is notable for its outreach to older adults in the Guelph and Wellington County community by way of its Services Programs.

For those who do not or cannot participate in the Activity Groups and Education Programs offered at the Evergreen Seniors Centre, the Service Programs provide a vital link to inclusion and participation. By breaking down barriers caused by physical, socio-economic and health considerations, the GWSA is able to reach some of the most vulnerable, isolated and at risk older adults in the community. Participation in the Services Programs does not require membership in the GWSA, and there is either no cost or a nominal fee for the participant.

Recognized for its innovative health promotion programming, the GWSA receives funding from the Waterloo-Wellington Local Health Integration Network (WWLHIN) under the provincial "Aging at Home" strategy. This initiative has supported the development of the Make Yourself at Home Suite of Services..

Make Yourself at Home Suite of Services provides for the following programs:

• Make Yourself at Home Suite of Services
• Feeling Better Eat Well
• Felling Better Move Well
• Seniors Offering Support
• Outreach
