Sunrise Senior Living Residents Decorate Bears
Bear Givers takes pride in the diverse range of communities and organizations we work with, which are sometimes close to home, like the wonderful residents of Sunrise Senior Living in Manhattan.
The golden years, while rich in wisdom and experience, may sometimes bring feelings of being less connected or not as actively engaged in the bustling world around us. Our Kindness Projects recognize the invaluable contributions and the depth of experience that our senior community holds. As well as celebrating all that our seniors have to offer, this program can also improve their mood, boost their memory, reduce depression, foster dignity and independence and build connections.
For this particular visit, Bear Givers team members spent quality time with the senior residents, working side by side to decorate the teddy bear t-shirts and write heartfelt messages for children in Israel. It was inspiring to watch the residents cuddle up to the bears, putting so much thought and care into this project. Their genuine involvement and enthusiasm made this experience unforgettable.
