RSS - Riverdale Senior Services

RSS - Riverdale Senior Services In 1974, RSS Founder Julia Blumenthal and her colleagues set out to improve the lives of seniors in the Riverdale community.

RSS (Riverdale Senior Services) is a multi-purpose non-profit agency whose mission is to promote the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional well-being of older adults in the Northwest Bronx. Riverdale Senior Center opened with the mission of providing a place where people could meet friends, share a meal and learn from one another. As we have grown, we’ve responded to the changing needs and

interests of the vital, diverse senior population of the Northwest Bronx. In addition to a daily delicious lunch, RSS now offers a full range of exercise, cultural, health management and social programs, as well as a wide array of social and behavioral health services. We continue to evolve to meet our members’ needs, and hope you will join us, at no cost, to sample all we have to offer!

Our social worker, Gidalthy Estevez, organized a Photovoice workshop series that encouraged members to express themselves through creativity and photography. Participants explored the connection between color and emotion while learning to use professional cameras with guidance from Technology teacher Caroline Voigt. To put their new skills into practice, members enjoyed a field trip to Wave Hill!

🌺🍽️ Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month at Riverdale Senior Services! 🍽️🌺

Today from 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM, our Riverdale Senior Services community came together for a special dinner celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.

Members enjoyed a delicious meal featuring teriyaki chicken, vegetable fried rice, Chinese broccoli, vegetable dumplings, and mochi ice cream, while sharing conversation, laughter, and fellowship with friends old and new.

Events like these give us an opportunity not only to enjoy great food, but also to honor the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of AANHPI communities. It was wonderful to see our dining room filled with smiling faces, meaningful connections, and a spirit of community.

A special thank you to our staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this celebration possible. Your dedication helps create experiences that bring people together and enrich the lives of older adults throughout our community.

📸 Take a look at some highlights from today's celebration!

Today, we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than just the start of summer; it is a day of national reflection.

At RSS, we are profoundly grateful for the courage and selflessness of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. We carry their stories in our hearts and strive to live lives worthy of their legacy.

We will never forget.
