The goal of Thrive is to keep our neighbors socially connected while living independently in their homes. We all deserve the opportunity to age where we wish, and Thrive activities and events are designed to keep you engaged, meeting new people, staying active, and learning new things. If you’re looking for things to do or worried about isolation, we are here for you! Check out our calendar and the additional details on this page, and if you have ideas for other activities you’d like to attend or even lead, just let us know!
