Bring Change to Our Older Adults

US Adult LiteracyLeave a comment

TD Bank is helping those in need. They’ve selected University Settlement to receive monies for the Older Adults Program from now until Friday, August 12th. The funds will help sustain the arts classes and fun activities that help older adults make new friends and stay connected.

Today in New York City, the fastest growing group of people are adults aged 60 and older. That’s why University Settlement has made it a priority to create Neighborhood Centers where older adults make new friends in an environment that welcomes all cultures. It’s open five days a week, and each day up to 150 seniors have fun while taking stimulating classes, engaging in a variety of activities, and eating nutritious meals.

You can help us support University Settlement by stopping in to donate at TD Bank’s 314 Grand Street location on Friday, August 12th. On top of your donation, TD Bank will make a contribution to help create a better community.

WHEN: August 12, 2016, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM

WHERE: TD Bank, 314 Grand Street, New York, NY 10002

Bonus Chinese Fan Dance performance at 3pm!

NY Rising

Our weekend New York Rising classes recently earned Citizen Preparedness Certificates from the American Red Cross. Way to go!

From the American Red Cross:

In partnership with New York State, the Red Cross is providing free emergency preparedness training entitled: Prepare, Respond, Recover: What to do When Disaster Strikes.

The training gives a comprehensive overview on how to prepare for natural and man-made disasters and how to respond to and recover from them. The training also provides information on types of common disasters, ways to prepare as an individual, family and community member, what to do when disaster strikes and what actions you can take afterwards to aid in your recovery.
