Established by the American Society on Aging, this day provides an opportunity to draw attention to the existence and impact of ageism in our society.

At St. Vincent Meals on Wheels we celebrate and honor people of all ages. Our multigenerational staff and volunteers prepare and deliver nutritious meals to homebound seniors and other vulnerable residents throughout Los Angeles, regardless of age, illness, disability, race, religion or ability to pay.

On October 7 and every day we encourage you to connect with people of other ages because research shows education and intergenerational connections are effective methods for reducing ageism. When we come together to share our perspectives, our attitudes shift about age and people of different ages. We can discover what we have in common. We can all participate in reducing our biases and take concrete steps in our lives to reduce ageism. Together, we can Change the Narrative!
