THE HOLIDAYS CAN BE A DIFFICULT TIME FOR MANY SENIORS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WITH FAMILIES OFTEN TRAVELING OR LIVING FAR AWAY, WHAT SHOULD BE A JOYOUS TIME CAN FEEL LONELY AND ISOLATING.
This year, the SBH CONNECT program, located in the heart of our community at 1963 McDonald Avenue, provided a safe and welcoming place for seniors on Passover. The organization provided hot kosher for Passover lunches and daily programming filled with activities. This not only provided the seniors with a delicious meal, but also an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and socialize with others. SBH CONNECT truly understands the importance of providing a space where seniors can feel loved and cared for.
SBH CONNECT is not just there for the community during the holidays; we provide daily wonderful programming from Monday through Friday, that include art, dance, and physical fitness, all of which create intellectual stimulation. We are fully committed to meeting the mental and emotional needs of seniors in our community.
One of the most important aspects of SBH CONNECT is the sense of community that it provides. For seniors who may otherwise be isolated, we offer a place to make friends, learn a new skill or lean in to a beloved hobby, all while feeling a sense of belonging. The staff and volunteers are warm and welcoming, and they make sure that everyone who comes through the doors feels valued and appreciated!
If you or someone you know is a senior (60+ years old), a caregiver, or may benefit from SBH CONNECT’s programs, intellectual stimulation, socialization, and who just enjoy a good time, then come and see what it is all about! The organization is committed to supporting seniors in our community and providing a space where they can thrive.
Rita Grazi is the Program Manager for the SBH Senior Division.
