Community Thread’s vision is a community where all people are engaged, enriched and connected. We maximize resources and volunteers to improve the quality of life for adults and their families in our local community. We do this by providing services aimed at older adults, particularly those who desire to age in place, as well as advocating for and supporting volunteers throughout the St. Our name

symbolizes our belief that each act of service is a thread that ties people, communities and lives together.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services and the Minnesota Board on Aging have launched a statewide survey asking older adults about their daily lives, needs and experiences. Responses will help the State of Minnesota improve services and supports for older adults.

Anyone age 60 or older living in Minnesota is eligible to complete the survey. It takes about 20 minutes to complete, and answers are private and won't be linked to your name.

For more information or to take the survey, visit: https://mn.gov/dhs/aging-survey

Aging in place means living in your chosen home and community for as long as possible while arranging the support you may need as your needs change.

As we age, changes like weaker balance, reduced vision or hearing, less strength, and slower mobility can affect daily life, including transportation, home upkeep, socializing, and health maintenance. Planning ahead helps protect independence, reduce stress on family, and give you more control over your quality of life, dignity, and care choices. (Minnesota Aging Pathways)

Community Thread is committed to helping individuals age in place by promoting active aging through activities and services that keep people engaged, enriched, and connected. By fostering meaningful social connection and offering support that meets older adults where they are, Community Thread helps neighbors maintain independence, confidence, and a stronger sense of community as they age.

Join us in building a stronger, more connected community for older adults. Enroll in programs, volunteer, or make a donation to help ensure neighbors can continue aging with dignity, independence, and support. Every contribution helps create opportunities for connection, wellness, and belonging.

HAPPENING: MAY 19 at 3:00 PM (Community Thread, Stillwater)

Living and aging in one's own home can be difficult, but simple challenges of daily life should NOT be the only reason someone is forced to leave their home.

YOU can help! As a Volunteer Home Services Provider, you fulfill a huge need in the community and provide social engagement for your neighbors- all with a flexible commitment.

Want to learn more before you commit? Join us at this Volunteer Info Session! We'll discuss the value, the options, and the simple process for helping your neighbors stay in their homes.

Community Thread has provided trusted support in Washington County for nearly 60 years, but the hearts and hands of volunteers are what make it happen! Thank you for your interest. We hope to see you soon!

RSVP encouraged but not required. Call 651-439-7434 to RSVP.
Hosted at Community Thread's main office at 2300 Orleans St. W. in Stillwater.

Not able to attend by still interested? Join us on June 17th at 11am at our Bayport location for our next info session, or just call us to confirm another option!
