The role of seniors in our community
This is a time to pause and reflect on the important role that seniors play in our community. Here are a few examples of how they contribute.
• They’re volunteers. Many seniors volunteer several hours a week or more. This enables them to put their time, effort, and expertise to good use in the community.
• They’re mentors. Seniors have a wealth of experience and skills they can share and pass down to younger generations. They can be great role models and important educational resources.
• They’re economic contributors. Seniors play a part in the local economy by attending sporting events and live shows. In addition, they spend money by eating and shopping at nearby businesses.
• They’re caretakers. Countless seniors help with childcare duties for their grandchildren. In addition, many provide various levels of support to a spouse or other relative who’s unwell or has restricted mobility.
Today, take a moment to recognize and thank the seniors in your life for their invaluable contributions to the community.
