The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the lives of seniors in our community. Now, more than ever, seniors are disconnected from our world. In the spring of 2020, soon after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Moose Jaw Age Friendly Committee launched the Keeping Seniors Connected Letter Writing Campaign.
The campaign invites anyone in our community to write letters to seniors in our local Moose Jaw area. All you have to do is write a letter that can be shared with the seniors who sign up for the program. Use the salutation “Dear Senior” and sign the letter with “Friendly City Citizen.” Once you have written your letter, you can email a copy to keepingseniorsconnected@gmail.com. Your letter will then be reviewed and forwarded to seniors who have signed up for the program. You can be proud to know that you have brightened someone’s day!
If you are a senior (or someone who works with or cares for seniors) and would like to sign up to receive these letters, please send an email to keepingseniorsconnected@gmail.com stating that you are interested in receiving letters. Your email address will then be added to the distribution list. Sign up today!
The committee thanks everyone who has taken part in this opportunity to brighten a local senior citizen’s day.
