Additional Resources and Support During These Challenging Times and Beyond...

As the Covid-19 challenges continue and we are uncertain about how long state quarantines and restrictions will be in place, we need to have further mechanisms for support and safe social contact. At Aging Rainbows we are trying to connect with others and bridge the gap to help form positive relationships and mechanisms for guidance and support!

SAGEConnect is a new volunteer driven program to help combat the loneliness that many older adults feel even more so during this time. Individuals can reach out to Sage and receive an at least weekly phone call from a volunteer to check in, provide Sage information and resources, and to simply chat! If you would like to sign up for SAGEConnect calls visit: https://www.sageusa.org/sageconnect/ SAGEConnect is a safe, social support program. Stay safe, well, and connected!
