Hamline Midway Elders 25th

Hamline Midway Elders celebrated its 25th Anniversary Celebration & Annual Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, June 23, from 6–7:30 p.m. at Hamline Church (1514 Englewood Ave.). This milestone celebration honored the many organizations, businesses, volunteers, and community partners who have helped make the Hamline Midway and West Frogtown neighborhoods vibrant, supportive communities where older adults can continue living independently with dignity and choice, according to Jenia Strom, HME Program & Communications Director.

Hamline Midway Elders’ mission is “to provide volunteer and professional assistance to enable elders to remain in their homes with independence, dignity, and choice.”
