In 2020, the Celebrating Seniors Coalition marks its 10th year of recognizing the contributions of older adults in Oak Park, River Forest and Forest Park. Mark your calendars from Thursday, May 14th to Thursday, May 21st, with dozens of free events that are sure to educate and entertain.
At the same time, we have raised money to support older adults in need. Here is a sampling:
- Paid utility bills so people have heat and running water;
- Purchased mattresses and provided moving services to those in need;
- Funded refrigerators, washers, hot water heaters, furnaces and air conditioners;
- Changed locks as a rapid response to keep people safe.
Consisting of individuals, businesses, congregations, government agencies and other individuals and organizations that serve the senior population, the Celebrating Seniors Coalition also facilitates cooperation between the business community, government agencies and non-profit organizations for the benefit of the senior population; promotes senior groups and organizations that serve persons 60 and older; and raises public awareness of issues affecting seniors.
Become a part of the coalition’s effort to create a better world for the older adults around us.
