Eastern Area Agency on Aging is thrilled to host our third annual Fall breakfast fundraiser, called Harvest for Help.
Social connection is at the heart of everything we do at Eastern Area Agency on Aging. Through wellness programs like exercise classes, arts and crafts, games, and social clubs, we help older adults stay engaged, active, and connected. These connections matter—social isolation in older adults is linked to serious health risks, including depression, dementia, and heart disease.
The Harvest for Help Breakfast is a fundraising event supporting these vital programs. Join us for a morning of inspiration, connection, and community featuring keynote speaker Emily Howe, RN, an awards ceremony, a featured video on our wellness programs, a silent auction, door prizes, and more.
