46 | Finding Your Community With Jacki Kimel

Feeling a sense of belonging is essential at any age, yet seniors often face increasing isolation, especially after retirement or life changes. That is why I invited Jacki Kimel, a dedicated community leader and board member of the NorthShore Village Network, to share how this grassroots organization is combating the loneliness epidemic by creating a true “village” atmosphere for seniors in the Northshore area.

Jackie tells inspiring stories of members finding connections through social outings, educational programs, and even simple acts of kindness. From navigating the challenges of post-pandemic isolation to the power of intergenerational connections, this conversation explores the importance of community in aging well.
