G4G Boston + FriendshipWorks | May 19, 2024

FriendshipWorks are hosting their annual Elderbration and 9th Annual Walk to End Elder Isolation while celebrating their 40th anniversary! Our team of G4G volunteers will be there to help with logistics and making sure people have a great time while raising awareness and funds to end elder isolation in the Greater Boston area! Volunteers will be lending a hand by assisting with check-ins and people-moving as teams of walkers arrive, distributing breakfast, cheering walkers, serving a sweet treat to returning walkers, and assisting the clean-up as another successful Elderbration and Walk to End Elder Isolation concludes!

Time: 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
