September Take 5

Fall Is Here, and So Is a Full Circle of Ways to Connect

September is full of ways to feel supported, celebrated, and connected. Inside, you’ll find events that might be the best part of your week, a way to get ahead of Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period before it sneaks up on you, and a story about a member whose community showed up for her in a big way. Let’s get into it.

Come Spend Time With Your Circle This September

Some of the best moments in life happen when we show up for each other. That’s what a Wider Circle event is all about. It’s a chance to laugh with neighbors, share a meal, learn something new, and remind each other that we are not alone.
​
This September, Wider Circle brings people together near you, because you deserve a place where you’re known, welcomed, and celebrated. Don’t miss what’s happening in your community. See all upcoming events and save your seat today.

How Alfreda Found Support When She Needed It Most

For four years, Alfreda and her two young children didn’t have a place to call home. At her first Wider Circle event, she found something she wasn’t expecting: neighbors who listened, checked in, and showed up for her.

With her community by her side, Alfreda navigated a housing application, furnished her new apartment with help from friends, and started cooking healthy meals in her own kitchen again. Today, her health is stronger, her stress is lighter, and she’s even helping lead an upcoming event for other parents.

Alfreda’s story is a reminder of what happens when a community shows up for one another.
