Celebrating Older Americans Month: “Flip the Script on Aging”
Each May, the nation comes together to celebrate Older Americans Month, led by the Administration for Community Living. This year’s theme, “Flip the Script on Aging,” invites us all to rethink the way we view and talk about aging—encouraging a more inclusive, empowered, and respectful perspective.
At Mid-Columbia Meals on Wheels, we honor and support older adults every single day. From providing nourishing meals and meaningful social connections to enhancing overall quality of life, we are proud to serve our community’s seniors with heart and purpose.
Our incredible team of volunteers—many of whom are seniors themselves—perfectly embody the spirit of this year’s theme. Their dedication, energy, and compassion show that age is no barrier to making a difference. In fact, client feedback consistently highlights the relationships and interactions with our volunteers as one of the most treasured parts of our program. These connections not only brighten the lives of our participants but bring joy and fulfillment to our volunteers as well.
