We are growing!
Welcome to HomePorts!
HomePorts is a community builder. We bring neighbors together through volunteering, social activities and community engagement.
Mark your calendar for HomePorts’ Drive to Thrive Shindig 2026, an unforgettable evening of great food, lively music, and heartfelt community spirit — all in support of helping older adults in Kent County age safely and independently at home. Join us Saturday, October 3, from 5–9 p.m. at the Chester River Yacht & Country Club for a festive evening featuring delicious food, a cash bar, music by DJ Jay Davis, and a high-energy live auction emceed by Mayor Meghan Efland.
Every ticket helps fuel the services HomePorts members rely on every day—from volunteer transportation to medical appointments and grocery stores to friendly visits, technology assistance, and programs that reduce isolation and strengthen independence.
Come for the food. Stay for the fun. Leave knowing you’ve made a difference.
Tickets: $100 per person
Attire: Festive Casual
Drive to Thrive. Because every ride, every visit, and every connection matters.
