May is Older Americans Month   Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). The 2024 theme is Powered by Connection, which recognizes the profound impact that meaningful relationships and social connections have on our health and well-being. Join us in promoting the benefits of connecting with others. Here are some ways you can participate: Share facts about the mental, physical, and emotional health benefits of social connection and how it contributes to overall well-being. Promote resources that help older adults engage, like community events, social clubs and volunteer opportunities. Connect older adults with local services, such as transportation, which can help them overcome obstacles to achieving or maintaining meaningful relationships.

It's about direct engagement and honest connections, where communities of faith become pillars of support for the vulnerable, businesses invest in their neighborhoods, and kids and families are wrapped around in care by their local community members. Lifting one another up in action, prayer, and love. We see the power of collective action, where every contribution, big or small, directly meets urgent needs in real time. Together, through Care Sharing, we can make a meaningful difference where it counts the most. https://bit.ly/34aon41
