Senior Day in the Park

Wednesday, August 5th

10am-2pm

Hovander Homestead Park, Ferndale

 

Senior Day in the Park is still on for Wednesday, August 5. After monitoring the smoke forecast, talking with local health department staff and spending the day setting up at Hovander Homestead Park we have made the decision to go ahead with the event. If anything changes we will post here at 6:00am.

Regardless of our event plans for Wednesday, please make the best personal decision for yourself regarding your own health and wellness. A few resources for your consideration:
**Medical masks and N95 Masks will be available for all Senior Day in the Park participants at the Lunch Ticket and Info Booths.
**Whatcom County Fire Department 7 will have medics onsite to assist with any medical emergencies.
**With temperatures predicted to be in the 80s, we have plenty of covered seating and bottled water to keep people cool and hydrated.

August Bulletin

Summer Fund Drive

Dear Friend of The Whatcom Council on Aging,

Summer brings renewal, energy, and the promise of brighter days. For thousands of older adults in our community, that promise depends on access to nutritious meals, social connection, and life‑enriching programs that help to keep them healthy, engaged, and independent.

Every day, seniors face challenges that can quietly erode their well‑being: rising food costs and insecurity, limited mobility and access, chronic health conditions, loneliness and isolation.

However, with your support, together we can continue to ensure that older adults don’t just survive – they thrive.

Your gift provides nourishment, strength, and community every older adult deserves.

Click Here to Donate Today. Thank you!
