Having places of belonging is critical to the health and wellbeing of our most vulnerable neighbors. Whether at our beautifully restored downtown community centers in Greensboro and Marion, or at Pomona’s thriving Senior Centers, we support safe and welcoming places for adults who want to stay active, be part of a supportive community, build structure and purpose into their days, and pursue their health and other goals.  

Fellows lead activities including stretching/exercise, arts and crafts, walking clubs, cooking, gardening, dancing, music, karaoke, book clubs, meditation, interactive games, quilting, wellness clinic, and support groups. In Alabama, we are partnering with a local organic farms and gardens and other food focused organizations to offer low cost fresh fruits and vegetables with easy to prepare recipes for participants.

Together, these programs act as part of an integrated model for successfully supporting our vulnerable neighbors and improving community health.
