1️⃣ 🌎 To start, we would like to THANK all our volunteers, donors, and supporters who’ve helped us grow our mission of bridging the generational gap between youth and seniors over the past 12 years. This intergenerational approach has brought together hundreds of volunteers and seniors. Our mission has also helped both youth and seniors develop relationships and social skills, and has helped them overcome health disparities that affect each generation.
For example, our Bridging Generations program has taught youth the value of giving back and of establishing a level of morality and respect for older adults, while also helping them learn valuable skills such as leadership, communication, and caregiving. The seniors who participate in Bridging Generations connect with youth through various recreational, social, and memory-therapy activities, mentor youth, and learn ways to cope with aging.
This bridge between both generations has allowed us to help youth and seniors overcome social isolation and improve the mental and emotional challenges, such as anxiety and depression, which impact both generations tremendously.
Another component of our organization’s mission is our Bundles of Joy program. Bundles of Joy was established in 2019 as a project to help a few seniors we knew who were alone during the holidays and lacked personal supplies, such as hygiene products and undergarments. Since then, the program has grown to the point where we gift 50 or more seniors annually. This effort has helped us support seniors who lack family, physical, mental, or financial means to care for themselves.
These efforts to address intergenerational health disparities, support underserved seniors year-round, and pursue other projects could not be done without the belief in our mission and our community coming together.
To continue this mission of impacting youth and seniors, we ask that you continue your support by committing to a monthly donation of just $20, which will benefit our weekly Bridging Generations programs and help an isolated senior with personal supplies this holiday season 🎄.

Thank You!
