Seasonal Campaign
Summer of Joy.
Help bring connection, creativity, and companionship to isolated seniors this summer.
For many older adults, summer can be one of the loneliest times of the year. Family visits become less frequent. Mobility challenges increase with the heat. Opportunities for social interaction decline. This summer, Joy for Seniors is bringing free arts, wellness, and engagement programs directly to seniors throughout Central Texas.
