Rooted in a long history of community collaboration, At Home In Darien evolved from a 2009 pilot program funded by The Community Fund of Darien, merging with Gallivant in 2011 to become Aging in Place+Gallivant before rebranding in 2013. The organization relies heavily on a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, including Executive Director Chris Jones, Program Manager Michele Treacy, and drivers like Drew Burke, who bring both professional experience and personal commitment to their work. Volunteers play a vital role, offering rides, companionship, errands, and seasonal support such as snow shoveling and leaf raking. The organization’s success is amplified by strong community partnerships, including a major donation from the Darien Foundation that funded two vehicles enabling over 4,300 one-way rides in 2024.

Located at 2 Renshaw Road, the organization sits just a short distance from key local institutions. It is about 0.1 miles from Darien Town Hall and the Darien Arts Center, both within a minute’s walk, and less than 0.2 miles from Mather Fields park and Stony Brook creek.
