UR Community Cares?

???? Happy Thanksgiving! ???? Today, we gather with loved ones to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. As we reflect on what we are grateful for, let’s also remember those in our community who may be feeling isolated or alone during this holiday season. At UR Community Cares, we are thankful for the opportunity to bring joy and connection to older adults and those with disabilities through our programs. Your support allows us to create memorable experiences and foster a sense of belonging for everyone we serve. This Thanksgiving, let’s spread gratitude and kindness beyond our tables. Consider reaching out to someone who might need a little extra love today—whether it’s a neighbor, a family member, or a friend. Together, we can make a meaningful impact! www.urcommunitycares.org Wishing you all a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. ??? #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #CommunityLove #Connecticut #Nonprofit #Volunteer #HappyThanksgiving

Yesterday we had many participants come to the Tech Center to learn about technology and socialize. We didn’t have candy corn or candy canes, but pizza, cookies and ice cream to fill our bellies as we talked about holiday traditions . Thanks to all of the Manchester businesses that donated for the events.
