Whether your parents are still by your side or live on in memory, take a moment to reflect, reach out or say thank you. 💛

It’s World Emoji Day🎉

From 😁 to 😴 to 🤷‍♀️, emojis have taken over how we text, post and even email. But love them or leave them, they’re here to stay.

“Where would we be without Meals on Wheels? Senior centers? That ride to the doctor’s office?”

The Older Americans Act has quietly supported older adults since 1965, funding the care, meals, rides and connection that help people age with dignity.

On July 14, we’re joining a national Day of Action to honor its 60th anniversary, and to call on Congress to protect and expand these vital programs.

Because aging well should never depend on your zip code.
