Our Mission

A Legacy of Compassion. A Future of Connection.
A child looks up — and in the eyes of a senior, sees a lifetime of wisdom, warmth, and care. At the Dr. Piper Center for Social Services, these moments of connection are at the heart of everything we do.
Through meaningful conversation, companionship, and shared purpose, our senior volunteers bring light to the lives of children, fellow elders, and the community. They are the heartbeat of our mission — proving that every stage of life holds the power to uplift, inspire, and make a difference.
​
Together, we’re building bridges between generations and creating a stronger, more compassionate Southwest Florida.
Our Vision

At the Dr. Piper Center, hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s something we witness in action. We see it in the joyful eyes of children discovering new possibilities. We see it in the hands of seniors reaching out to serve others. We see it in a community that turns to us for guidance, compassion, and connection.
Our hearts, minds, and mission are focused on empowerment — improving lives and building a stronger, more compassionate Southwest Florida. We don’t just imagine a better community.
We see it. We serve it. We create it — together.
