TECH FOR SENIORS
The Tech for Seniors initiative is dedicated to getting tablets into the hands of isolated older adults who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford one themselves. During the pandemic older adults who were already experiencing isolation suddenly became further challenged to remain connected when they were cut off from the outside world. In best efforts to alleviate the devastating loneliness, Tech for Seniors was launched. Volunteers pre-loaded donated tablets with video conferencing software, networking opportunities, several mind-occupying apps, and other entertainment options. The in-store purchasing function may also be disabled so less tech savvy seniors are not exploited by scammers.
Social isolation is deadly. Today, we ask for your continued support to keep this meaningful work ongoing. These high impact gifts bring joy and human connection for years to come. You can purchase a tablet for under $100 right now on Amazon and it will allow a senior to remain actively engaged.
