Your gift today- #GivingTuesday- and throughout the year is SO very important to older Bostonians like Maria, who attends our drumming class and shares, in her own words, why she loves it.

"I want to thank you for arranging the drumming classes. In addition to learning the African drums we learned a little about drum sets and African culture. It was very interesting. I really never thought I would learn drumming - especially at this age - or enjoying it so much. I found myself very centered and sharp after the class. Also, it’s a lot of fun!"

#BeTheLinkToBelonging today. Join our mission to relieve isolation and loneliness. Thank you! givebutter.com/lbfeboston-givingtuesday2024s

Amazing. 🤣❤️

#OlderAdults at six of our Digital Dividends program sites learned all about #AI last week, including the benefit of tools like #ChatGPT, virtual and voice assistants. They were particularly impressed by how convenient, easy, and efficient these tools are to incorporate into daily life, and how they can support their health and well-being, including finding healthy recipes, exploring nearby places of interest, and sending messages effortlessly.

From the Community

"When 5:00 comes it’s like “what?! it’s over?!” I wish [the students] could stay longer! "
- Michelle
"It’s fun to start conversations and learn from the seniors"
- Gaetan
"I truly enjoy the students. I like hearing about them, and we all share our stories."
- Marion
"It’s beneficial, especially to that type of person that might not come out on their own to socialize. I might have been one of those people myself."
- Bob
