🌻 Good Neighbor Outreach – Looking Out for One Another 🌻

https://forms.gle/1GYHFES4TPL4wF6y6

A strong community starts with caring neighbors.

The Shrewsbury Senior Center is launching the Good Neighbor Outreach Program, an initiative designed to help older adults remain safe, connected, and supported within our community.

Do you have an older neighbor you occasionally check in on? Have you noticed someone who may need a little extra support? We invite residents to be our eyes and ears by sharing concerns, observations, or needs through our simple online form.

💛 Together, we can:
🏡 Help reduce social isolation
🤝 Connect seniors with valuable resources
👀 Look out for neighbors who may need assistance
🌻 Build a stronger, more caring Shrewsbury

You do not need to provide personal information when submitting a concern.

📍 Pick up a Good Neighbor Outreach magnet at the Shrewsbury Senior Center or keep an eye out for them around town!

Because sometimes the smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference.
