May is #OlderAmericansMonth! The 2024 theme, #Powe

May is #OlderAmericansMonth! The 2024 theme, #PoweredByConnection, recognizes the profound impact of meaningful relationships and social connections on our health and well-being. Our participants often tell us how much it means to them when volunteers spend time at their home to tackle some yard work or a small painting project, but most often, the interaction and storytelling is just as meaningful. And sometimes, serendipitous moments like this one happen. Last month, as we were scheduling a volunteer group from the @atonhq at the @umntwincities, we discovered that Gregor (age 87), one of the HOME program participants we were scheduling for, had pledged the fraternity when he was in college! Join us in celebrating Older Americans Month by signing up to volunteer this spring and summer! acl.gov/oam
