Project F.R.E.S.H. (Food and Relationships for Equitable and Sustainable Health) is an innovative intergenerational program that provides community children and adults with an opportunity to participate in physical activity together and help deliver fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) to homebound seniors within their community. The Lucille W. Gorham Intergenerational Community Center (IGCC) obtains the produce from their community garden and partnerships with local farms. Project F.R.E.S.H. harvests, packages and delivers the produce with youth, parent, and senior volunteers via walking route to the seniors’ homes. The programs main goals are to 1) improve nutrition in seniors and 2) increase physical activity for youth and adults. Secondary goals include lowering social isolation in homebound seniors in the community, improving child-adult relationships, and promoting community engagement. Outcome measures include: step counts for the youth and adults using pedometers, intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, and weight of delivered produce.

Launched in 2008, the Northland Foundation’s AGE to age: bringing generations together is designed to strengthen relationships among all ages and offer older adults and young people with opportunities and resources to work together to benefit their communities. To date, the program has been implemented in 13 rural communities including three Indian Reservations. In the fall of 2016, the program is being expanded to three more sites. Each site forms and implements its own action plan that joins the generations in local projects to improve health and well-being across the generations. In 2012, a new component of AGE to age was added to provide summer internships to undergraduate students to enhance their leadership skills, increase their knowledge of intergenerational community-building, and infuse fresh ideas in participating sites. AGE to age: bringing generations together was re-designated as a Program of Distinction by Generations United in 2015.

Cloquet Age to Age strives to connect the generations through activities, programs and other opportunities in the community. We are focused on creating a community atmosphere of intergeneratonal connections and awareness.
