Professors on Wheels |
In past years, through our award-winning Professors on Wheels program, our members have served Suffolk County residents in senior centers, nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities as well as in libraries and community centers. Unfortunately, the current pandemic has made it impossible for outside guests to enter most of these locations until there is a vaccine. In this ongoing public health crisis, however, our energy and expertise is more needed than ever. Thus, to continue serving our fellow Long Islanders, we have two ways for members to participate, and we hope you'll join us! Enrichment BoxesThink of these as care packages for our senior friends in facilities we’ve worked with in the past. Below is their wish list of desired items. Perhaps you’ve done some “Covid cleaning” and already have some of these items? Or perhaps you’d be willing to purchase and donate some? All contributions are greatly appreciated.
If you would like to donate any of these items, please email Christina Bosco Langert, our current coordinator to arrange delivery options and help bring a smile to senior residents. Virtual PresentationsIn the past, we've done live, in-person presentations. Now we have to reach out from a distance.
On behalf of the FA, we thank all past and future presenters for their contributions to improving the quality of life for our fellow Suffolk County residents. |
