JASA was proud to host NYC Aging Commissioner Lisa Scott-McKenzie for the NYC Department for the Aging Annual Bronx Town Hall at our Bay Eden Older Adult Center.

Thank you to our partners at NYC Department for the Aging for creating space to hear directly from older New Yorkers and make their voices part of the conversation. And thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their thoughts and feedback!

We were especially grateful to have a taste-test and discussion of our plant-based food menu options - food is about so much more than what’s on the plate. Delicious, nutritious meals can be a reason to get out the door, come to an older adult center, gather with friends, and build meaningful connections.

Those connections are an important part of keeping healthy as we age - that’s why JASA offers over 18,000 classes and activities across the city, so that we can build strong bonds between seniors to support their well-being, dignity, and autonomy.

🎨 Meet Victoriya! Six years ago, she began exploring her creativity through art classes at her JASA older adult center. Today, she’s painted hundreds of pieces from beautiful landscapes to still lifes and has proudly showcased her work at four consecutive JASA art shows.

JASA’s 18 older adult centers offer art classes for beginners and experienced artists alike, giving them a chance to pursue their passions and build community in retirement. You can help support Victoriya and all JASA older adult artists like her through our Back to Class for campaign at jasa.org/backtoclass. 🖼️✨
