BAiP’s mission is to help mature adults lead vital, connected, safe and comfortable lives as their needs change. An all volunteer, intergenerational network of neighbors, BAiP builds community by organizing social activities, sharing information, and extending a helping hand to neighbors as they continue to age at home.
Our Goal is to…
- Connect older adults in the neighborhood to one another
- Communicate information about issues and resources related to aging in place
- Identify and facilitate ways in which neighbors may help neighbors who need a hand
- Create a tradition of service among neighbors for neighbors
