My amazing colleagues at @TheCaresFamily are working so hard to not only help older people stay connected in this awful time, but to do so in ambitious, creative ways – with meaning at the heart.

This gave us all a massive boost. Thank you, @BarackObama @ObamaFoundation. https://t.co/WAT8z9CGW5

The best part of my job was meeting people like this—ready to make a selfless act in a time of need. Many Americans are already making deep sacrifices to keep our communities healthy, but if you’re able to, consider helping those hit the hardest. https://t.co/CdrMsC6VXF
