Friends for Durango Seniors

Building a Healthier, More Vibrant, and Connected Senior Community

Friends of Durango Seniors (FDS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of older adults throughout Durango and La Plata County. We believe that every senior deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, vibrant, and fulfilling life, surrounded by a community that values their contributions and supports their well-being.

Our mission is simple: to support and encourage the senior community by fostering relationships, promoting well-being, and enhancing access to services and activities for older adults in our area.

Working alongside the Durango Senior Center, local organizations, businesses, and community members, FDS raises funds, mobilizes volunteers, and builds partnerships to strengthen the programs and resources available to our aging population. From supporting health and wellness activities like Tai Chi to improving community spaces and expanding opportunities for social connection, we help bridge the gap between existing public resources and the growing needs of local seniors.

As a community-driven organization, we recognize that supporting older adults is about more than providing services. It's about creating opportunities for connection, promoting independence, reducing isolation, and ensuring that seniors remain an active and valued part of our community.

Your generosity makes this work possible. Whether through a one-time donation, monthly contribution, donor-advised fund, planned gift, or an annual membership of just $10, every contribution helps us invest in programs, activities, and improvements that directly benefit local seniors.

Together, we can build a community where our senior population is healthy, vibrant, and supported.
