Meet Jerome
One of our longtime community members and former board member, Jerome, received financial assistance through the Community Center’s Older Adult Cash Assistance program. These monthly payments helped Jerome break free from the cycle of financial stress and reimagine the next chapter of his life. Jerome is a musician and financial hardship had made it hard to focus on this passion. With this support, he not only returned to performing at Kate’s Café open mic but also took his music back on the road for a European “If Not Now then Fuggedabout it” tour—something he had not done in 50 years. Health & Connection 3,000 nutritious Senior Lunches served. Weekly free exercise classes — open space strolls, chair yoga, tai chi, and fitness sessions. Two peer-led “Growing Old Gracefully” support groups meeting weekly. Monthly LGBT Senior Support Group fostering inclusion and connection. 25 Tea & Cookie social gatherings bringing neighbors together. Weekly enrichment activities including Mah Jong, writing groups, and more! Quarterly excursions to museums, parks, and cultural spaces beyond the Valley.
