New Yorkers young and old are looking for ways to beat the heat, the Jewish
Association Serving the Aging's older adult centers are extending their
hours for this weekend.
JASA
has six locations in Brooklyn and seven in the Bronx, where seniors can hang
out and enjoy cool air conditioning.
"We
have games, activities, we have water, we provide snacks," said Anna
Bella, program director for the JASA older adult center located in Brighton
Beach.
These
centers have plenty to offer beyond the cool air and hydration to beat the
summer heat.
"A
lot of conversations, discussion, very nice staff," said Zovaya
Khovskaya, who volunteers in the kitchen at the Brighton Beach location.
Anyone
over 60 years old can come to the JASA cooling centers, which are open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. during the weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during weekends.
