💙 No one should have to face life’s challenges alone.
Our Y-OPAS (Outreach Programs for Aging Seniors) program is helping seniors stay connected, independent, and supported through transportation, social gatherings, friendly visits, and meaningful relationships.

Recently, Y-OPAS was featured in the news for the impact it has on seniors in our community, including how these connections help combat isolation and create a place where older adults can build friendships and feel supported.

For many seniors, a ride to an appointment, a phone call, or a chance to gather with friends can be life-changing.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers and supporters who make this program possible. Together, we’re helping seniors live healthier, more connected lives. 💙

Interested in supporting Y-OPAS or volunteering? Learn more today.

🎆 Happy Fourth of July!
