Research has shown that children need about 4-6 involved, caring adults in their lives to fully develop emotionally and socially.  What better way to address this need than to reach out to our elderly community for that intergenerational connection? These weekly visits to the elderly homes bring so much meaning and purpose to our life as we grow into adulthood.

“Connections between generations are essential for the mental health and stability of a nation.”
