FriendshipWorks

When you see #fireWorks this July 4th, or enjoying a cookout with #friends, think of #FriendshipWorks and invite a neighbor or someone in your community that might need the social connection. In observance of the holiday, FriendshipWorks will be closed July 3 & 4.

Happy #FathersDay from #FriendshipWorks! Celebrate all the amazing #Dads and #father figures in your life. And remember to reach out to those older adults in your neighborhood who many not have family nearby and help bring more joy and companionship to elders.

May is Older Americans Month and we're reminding everyone about FriendshipWorks' #Elderbration and Walk to End Elder Isolation on May 21. Join us and be part of the solution to create connection and reduce loneliness and socialisolation for older adults all over GreaterBoston.

Happy #EarthDay from #FriendshipWorks! We're aiming to be better stewards of the environment. With a #ClimateResiliency grant from @LibertyMutual, our #Elderbration & Walk to #EndElderIsolation, May 21 will reflect ongoing efforts with experiential and eco friendly prizes.
