  • A partnership with the collegiate, early literacy and children's books sectors has been formed to develop and distribute children's books containing positive senior/multi-generational themes in order to promote a positive view of seniors and aging
  • The number of frail seniors on a waiting list for home delivered meals has been cut in half
  • Over $1 million new dollars have been leveraged to invest in senior services
  • Over $200,000 have been invested in community intergenerational activities
  • Over $50,000 have been invested to create or expand 10 neighborhood projects designed to engage seniors in meaningful community activities
