Homebound Services Inc. is a non - profit organization that was founded in Statesboro, Ga, and established in 1981.
In 1981, a local nurse conducted a community assessment revealing critical needs for affordable medication access and housekeeping for low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities.
The purpose of this non - profit organization is to foster a sense of independence, support safety, increase awareness, eliminate barriers, and improve the quality of life amongst the aging, disabled and at - risk populations of Bulloch County.
Over four decades, the agency expanded its scope to include the Med Connection program, assisting citizens with federal and state application submissions, and gaining access to unaffordable prescription medications.
Historically backed by the local United Way and Hospital Authority of Bulloch County, the non-profit relies increasingly on community support and outside funding to offset rising operational costs.
