We'd like to thank another one of our volunteers: Laura! She began volunteering with us washing windows, and has created a new pen pal program for the Crow River Senior Center community called GrandPals. She says, "I started helping seniors in their homes by washing their windows, something that helped develop many lasting friendships. I love getting to learn from the elders in our community, and I am so happy to be a small part of bringing that same connection to St. Michael!"

We recently had one of our favorite events of the year: our annual Staff Recognition Lunch! This year we recognized Jon Burkhow (AKA our Hollywood Star) for 10 years of service and Gary Spears and Kelly Weber for 5 years. We appreciate all our staff for their dedication to older adults and caregivers -- it shows in the compassionate service they provide every day for our community!

Older adults may find they need more support than just Medicaid to stay in the homes and communities they love. Read an op-ed in @startribune's Strib Voices column by our Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Emma Friend: "For Minnesota seniors, more is at risk than Medicaid." Link in bio.

‼️ Advocacy alert from USAging, March 3rd 2025

‼️ Advocacy alert from USAging, March 3rd 2025: Urge Your Lawmakers to Protect and Fund Critical Older Americans Act (OAA) Programs (https://bit.ly/4bGIdYl) As federal lawmakers continue work on a budget agreement, NOW is the time to voice your support for the Older Americans Act, which provides funding for critical services for millions of people nationwide. This includes funding, in part, for our own HOME Program and Caregiver Services, which empowered over 2500 Minnesotan older adults and caregivers last year. Reauthorizing the OAA will create stronger communities for all of us as we get older. Contact your lawmakers to express your support for the OAA and organizations like Senior Community Services that empower people as they age. More information & how to contact lawmakers:
