A Snohomish County senior center is prioritizing community among Black elders to combat isolation and foster connection.
Every Tuesday, a group of Black seniors meet to share meals, fellowship and participate in activities through culturally-specific programs curated by Homage Senior Services inside the Carl Gipson Senior Center in Everett.
“It makes me feel wonderful because, as you know, in this area - and we talk about it all the time - you know, there's not very many of us. And being sheltered and in-home most of our lives, especially when we get to the age we are and not seeing people like us,” Nuckles said.
