Amazon Smile NNN
Just a Few Clicks!
If you're an Amazon shopper, did you know you can shop at Smile.Amazon.com and choose Northwest Neighbors Network as your charity? This is a great way to give back, and will help us reach even more seniors to grow our community of neighbors helping neighbors. AmazonSmile is a program that donates 0.5% of your eligible purchases on Amazon to a charity of your choice.
 
How to?
All you need to do is start your shopping at smile.amazon.com and select NNN as your charity. Then, every time you shop, start at the smile.Amazon address. Your account information transfers without you having to do anything. If you would like help setting this us, please ask us. 

What's New at Shoreline/Lake Forest Park Senior Center?
Great question! What's new is that Executive Director Theresa LaCroix and her team are busy with events, to-go food programs, and more despite the challenges of COVID-19. If you want to take part, or give back (such as helping replace some of their overworked/dated kitchen appliances), check out the latest in the Shoreline Area News article:

New GenPRIDE YouTube Channel
Check out  the newly-launched web series COVID-19: What's Next for Seniors? 

This winter brings a new take on an already dark season thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, one that is especially hard on LGBTQ+ older adults. Older adults are more vulnerable to serious complications, and may need to stay more physically isolated than the rest of the population. To combat this, GenPRIDE is now offering a free web series of quick, practical videos to help you prepare for surviving and thriving during this winter’s social restrictions and health risks. New videos in the series will be added to GenPRIDE's YouTube channel throughout winter to give you the latest tips and support, as conditions change.  

To view or subscribe to the web series, visit http://genpri.de/whatsnext and stay connected with GenPRIDE!
