Nonprofit Organization Helping Seniors Stay Active During Pandemic

By: CBS News The pandemic has made it especially challenging for seniors to stay close to friends and loved ones. A New York-based not-for profit organization is doing its part to keep seniors, including Holocaust survivors, socially active and learning online. Rita Pollack and Henry Musat are regulars at Selfhelp Community Services’ Virtual Senior Center. “I love the art classes. I love the music classes,” says Rita. “It’s a wonderful thing for people like us to get in touch and to talk to other people,” says Henry. The Virtual Senior Center existed before the pandemic but has since become invaluable for those wanting to stay social and safe. “It has enabled me to socialize with people on a screen, see people, you know, I don’t touch anyone anymore,” says Rita.
