engAGE: A Day of Sharing Meals and Building Connections 💙
Thursday, September 10, 2026

Everyone can make a difference in the life of an older adult—and there are three simple ways to get involved!

🍽️ Encourage an older adult to join us. Invite an older adult you know to participate in the special engAGE programming at their local senior center. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a meal, connect with others and build new friendships. To find a local center, call 410-887-2040.

🥗 Share a meal with someone who may be isolated. Invite an older adult to join you for a meal at one of our participating restaurant partners offering special meal discounts during engAGE. Visit County website below to see specials.

🤝 Host a gathering. Organizations, businesses, community groups and others can host a gathering of older adults within their network on September 10. Bring people together for a meal, conversation and connection—and help make sure no one feels alone. Register at link below as a partner.

Whether you invite someone to a senior center, share a meal, or bring a group together, your invitation can help an older adult feel connected, valued and remembered.

Let’s make connection part of every day. ❤️
