Money from the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation will reach nearly 8,000 seniors this holiday season
For many older adults, especially those who live alone or don't have nearby family members, the holiday season can be especially lonely. While social isolation in seniors can arise anytime throughout the year, a 2017 survey from AARP found that 31 percent of older adults felt lonely during the winter holiday season, and 41 percent worried about feelings of loneliness in a friend or family member.
'We hope that can springboard people into recognition of, 'Wow, I didn't know the center did this or had this class or had this program as well,' so it could serve as a portal to services throughout the year,' Gavin said.
