Hi! If you appreciate Lamorinda Village's services for older adults in our community, please let our Assemblymember, Rebecca Bauer-Kahan know! Lamorinda Village is a non-profit organization that supports older adults in our community. We were one of the first organizations to motivate during this pandemic in support of seniors with free grocery shopping and prescription delivery (well over 900 free deliveries at this point). We connected isolated seniors with at least 4 free ...Zoom activities (Meditation, Chair Yoga, Coffee Conversations, Presentations, Happy Hours, Bake-Alongs) per week. For seniors who didn't have devices to connect, we offered them free devices and set them up with zoom to connect with us and their families. We have made over thousands of calls to seniors to check-in and make sure they are doing ok. This pandemic has been especially tough on seniors with the mortality rate being those primarily over 65 and loneliness causing other health issues. Lamorinda Village is doing our best to make sure older adults in our community come out of this safe, healthy, and connected. See more

Vic and Fran have been married 71 years! Since this pandemic, they have had to celebrate Vic's 98th birthday, Fran's 94th birthday and their wedding anniversary all in quarantine. My favorite thing about them is when Fran is talking, Vic looks at her like there is no one else in the world. Let's raise a toast to this sweet couple!

Our very own Suzy Pak was nominated for Hometown Hero. Thanks Christine Mason of Coldwell Banker for featuring her!

This is Suzy. She just finished her 51st shopping trip for seniors. In actuality, she goes to multiple stores per "trip" so let's call this her 200th store visit since Shelter in Place. If that's not enough, she also delivers food to seniors on Fridays and she calls them all week long to make sure they are doing ok, don't need anything and are not lonely as everyone is trying to isolate. She is, without doubt, the heart of this community. Thank you Suzy for being so amazing. #hometownhero#diablofoods#volunteers#lamorindavillage#villagetovillagenetwork
