The Kinneret Council on Aging has expanded its senior enrichment offerings from a monthly speaker series to weekly programming. These sessions are held every Thursday at the Rosen JCC in Orlando to better serve more than 300 local residents.
Why it matters
The transition to a weekly schedule was prompted by strong attendance and significant community demand for consistent engagement opportunities. The initiative aims to provide more frequent support to seniors living in the Orlando area.
Kinneret Council on Aging currently supports over 300 residents with weekly grocery bags and twice-weekly breakfasts. All new enrichment programs are provided to participants free of charge.
