Seniors Isolation Facebook Page-EORC

The Seniors Isolation Facebook Page was created by Debbie Abfalter to support elders during this critical effort to fight loneliness. In these uncertain times, we have many isolated Seniors who have no one to talk to and who face greater technological barriers, which impact their ability to see friends and family. The Seniors Isolation Facebook Page encourages people to write handwritten letters, notes, cards, or pictures and send them to seniors in the community as a means to brighten their day. It is a great initiative as well as an opportunity for youth to create intergenerational connections. Debbie has also been connecting with non-profit organizations, community groups and residents to partake and share messages with seniors to minimize isolation. The Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre proudly supports the initiative by sending the cards and notes for Debbie to local seniors. We are encouraging everyone to participate in this heart felt project to make an impact in someone’s life.
