Colder weather can make it harder for some seniors to stay connected.

 

Penny Byer with the Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council says people without family or friends nearby can face greater isolation.

 

 

The council offers free drop-ins and chair yoga, along with shared meals and other opportunities to meet people.

 

Anyone nervous about attending alone can call the office for help making that first visit.
