“We continue to find that older people care more than any other age group about emotionally meaningful aspects of life. In the midst of this pandemic…the solution for older adults is to get back to engaging with life, in whatever ways possible…Engagement in virtual volunteer opportunities can bring fulfillment and a sense of purpose.”
