Momentum

 

Momentum is a network of LGBTQ+ Vermonters working to create opportunities for a vibrant, diverse, safe, and joyful community of adults over the age of 55. While the Momentum program and events are open to people of all ages, they are designed to address the specific needs of Vermont’s LGBTQ+ aging population.

Momentum’s Neighbor to Neighbor Project connects LGBTQ+ Vermonters over 55 years of age with volunteer peers providing need-based support services that aid with various tasks to address isolation, food security, access to healthcare, and community networking.

Monthly Steering Committee Meetings: 6:30pm, Third Monday of every Month. Help steer the events, advocacy, and activities for Momentum. Momentum is a network of LGBTQ+ folks who want to ensure that Vermont is a vibrant, diverse, fun community for adults over 55.

Coffee and Conversation:  (see calendar listing for details) Come share your friendship over coffee (or tea), free your mind, ease your stress, and soak up the positive mood over zoom.

 

Chat and Chew:  (see calendar listing for details) Missing those dinner parties with friends? Looking to socialize with other people from the safety of your own home? Join us for Chat and Chew, an opportunity to share stories and supper with other community members. Grab dinner from your favorite grub location (and before you ask, yes your own kitchen can be your favorite place to eat) and settle in for an evening of engaging conversation!

 

Neighbor to Neighbor Program: Momentum, an LGBTQ+ oriented support group for folks age 40 and up, brought to you by the Pride Center of Vermont, PCVT, is seeking reliable and ready volunteers to help service Vermont’s adult LGBTQ+ population, through a new community assistance opportunity, Neighbor to Neighbor. This community outreach program connects LGBTQ+ Vermonters over 55 years of age through need-based support services that aid with various tasks so as to avoid travel to communal spaces.

 

As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has left many vulnerable populations seeking assistance and services to help navigate through what was once considered everyday activities, such as grocery shopping, picking up medications, yard work, etc.

 

Momentum (a Pride Center of Vermont program) established the Neighbor to Neighbor program with the goal to reunite community members during this time of great separation and to assist those in need of safer solutions throughout their day.
