Grandparents Day, which was created to honor and celebrate grandparents, is coming up on Sunday, September 10th. GrandparentsDay.org is asking people to #DoSomethingGrand, which “is a call to action for grandparents and people of all ages to join together and advocate on behalf of America’s future: our children and youth.” (1)
At NICOA we are #DoingSomethingGrand by sending out postcards about our grandparents and Elders through Postcards.care. The free postcards are created to not only celebrate and honor our grandparents and Elders, but they will also be sent to Congress as reminder of who they represent, as shown through photos and messages. As Postcards.care states, ”We want our elders to age with dignity, and a society rooted in caring for one another. That’s why we’re keeping up the pressure to protect healthcare and strengthen Medicaid, and coming together to support love and dignity for all of us.” (2)
