Two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to join Fox5 as part of their Zip Trip down to the Wharf! It was a great time, and we were glad to share Seabury with some new friends (start at 1:48 to see Grandon Purnell, Seabury Age-In-Place® Program Manager, talk with@tuckerbarnesfox5 about how to get involved supporting seniors in Wards 4, 5, and 6).

Thank you Fox5 for the invite!

Tucker was able to chat with some local nonprofits during this week's Zip Trip.

WE DID IT! Together we raised over $26,000 to support our programs serving older adults.

This more than doubles what we raised last year!

Thank you everyone who gave, shared our fundraiser, and cheered us on. The last few days have been so special - thank you for sharing our vision where everyone has the resources to age with dignity, purpose, and joy.

🎉 DAY 2 UPDATE: We're SO close! Just $2,000 away from our $20,000 goal for !

YOU can be the one to put us over the finish line.

Here's why your support matters:

"The people I saw were clean." That's what drew one woman to Friendship Terrace – such a simple thing, yet it spoke volumes about dignity and respect. Today, she's not just surviving, she's thriving in a community that truly sees her worth.

"Seabury has filled a hole in my heart." Before our community dining program, another woman could barely find the motivation to get out of bed. Isolation had consumed her world. Now? She has friends, purpose, and joy – all because someone believed everyone deserves good food and genuine community.

A constant presence through it all. When one woman's resources ran out and her loved ones were gone, our Care Management team never wavered. From full-fee client to full subsidy, we stayed by her side. And when she passed, we made sure she received the dignified farewell she deserved.

This is what happens when we refuse to let anyone age alone.

Good Housing. Good Food. Good Community. Good Resources. These aren't luxuries – they're what everyone deserves.

Will you help us reach our goal? Every dollar brings dignity, community, and hope to someone who needs it most.

Support Home First: Where Housing Meets Hope

At Seabury Resources for Aging® our Home First program is a beacon of hope for older adults seeking a supportive and dignified living environment. More than just a residence, Home First offers a community where older adults can thrive, build meaningful connections, and reclaim their independence.

Through initiatives like bi-monthly grocery shuttles and monthly cooking classes, residents engage in enriching activities that promote health and friendship. These gatherings create opportunities for storytelling and sharing meals, reinforcing the bonds that make our community special. For many, like resident M.C., Home First represents a new beginning—an affordable room that is not just housing, but a place of freedom and belonging.

From August 6 to August 8, you can make a difference in the lives of our older adults by donating to the Seabury 60 initiative online. Your generous contributions will be matched up to $10,000 by the Cafritz Foundation, doubling the impact of your support! Every donation helps sustain the vital services that the Home First program provides, ensuring that older adults have access to care management, social engagement, and a sense of community.

Join us in empowering our older adults to live their best lives. Your donation is not just a gift; it’s an investment in hope, dignity, and the promise of a brighter future. Don’t miss this chance to support Seabury 60 and the transformative work of Home First!

Starting August 6-8, we’re launching Seabury 60—a vital initiative to raise funds for programs that provide essential resources for older adults in our community. One of these impactful programs is “Out and About,” designed specifically for older adults in the LGBTQ+ community.

Seabury’s Out and About program creates joyful, affirming spaces where LGBTQ+ older adults can connect, celebrate their identities, and build community through inclusive outings and shared experiences. It’s not just about getting out—it’s about belonging, visibility, and living out loud at every age.

As one participant shared, “Without Out & About, I’d be isolated. Here, I’m celebrated, not just tolerated.” Another echoed, “This isn’t just a program—it’s family. I finally feel safe to be ‘me’.” And yet another emphasized, “Out & About isn’t just fun—it’s the reason I keep living boldly.”

Your support is crucial. Donations of any size can make a significant difference in the lives of older adults in the Washington, DC area. Together, we can ensure that everyone feels included and cherished in our community.

Get ready to donate to Seabury 60 online starting August 6-8. Remember, no donation is too small or too large. Join us in making a lasting impact!
