HUGS is a Hudson River Health Care program that was created with the goal of interaction between senior citizens/older and younger generations
.. Once a week, students and senior citizens get to interact with each other through communication, crafts, and food.
.. The senior prom was a celebration of the senior citizens and those in the HUGS program. It was voted that the prom would be 70s themed and the Kiley Center was decorated that way. There was a lot of food, music, contests, and even musical chairs. Students showed appreciation to the senior citizens by serving food and drinks, and we all enjoyed ourselves.
I enjoy being a part of HUGS because of the rewarding feeling I get bonding with the senior citizens. Making crafts, interacting, and sharing food together is what helps all of us grow into better people. I enjoy a time to socialize with everyone around me and take part in activities
