CAPS (Community Ambassador Program for Seniors) “Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.” Anthony J. Angelo Aging and Family Service’s Community Ambassador Program for Seniors (CAPS) embodies this value of caring. Prior to the pandemic, CAPS was very active in the Tri-City community. The inability to meet in person and work directly with people required a change in the way they served their communities. CAPS volunteers rose to this challenge and provided information and support via telephone calls, and when possible, they were back in their communities meeting and helping. In May 2023, CAPS was able to successfully host a two-day training for newly recruited and existing CAPS volunteers and built up the team. The group quickly stepped up and reached out to their communities, which include cultural groups, religious affiliates, social networks, neighborhoods, and places where older adults meet. Through tabling efforts at large events, meeting with individuals one-on-one, or sharing info within their smaller groups, CAPS volunteers ensured that information was shared equally among older adults. Their compassion for others drives them to volunteer their time for this important and worthy effort. Without their caring and involvement, many communities would lack the information and support they critically need! To learn more about this amazing group of volunteers or to join CAPS, contact Marisha Engineer, MSW at mengineer@fremont.gov.

BEST WISHES CHEF DAVID LEE December 22 will mark the end of a chapter for Chef David Lee at the Age Well Centers. Chef David’s final day as Food Services Manager will be bittersweet for staff, adults age 55+, patrons, and volunteers. Chef David created, cooked, and served delicious meals for the Age Well Centers for over six years. His love for creating great meals, with a sense of humor that brought the community together, is appreciated the most. He served all of his meals with kindness. When the world stopped in 2020 due to the pandemic, Chef David did not. He and his team orchestrated and served weekly, frozen meals for older adults and bag lunches for the unhoused. The meal program in Fremont is unique compared to other Senior Centers and we were fortunate to have Chef David leading the way. He is one of a kind and the City thanks him for his service to the community. He made an impact on more people than we will ever know. Best wishes on your future endeavors, Chef David!
