Village Square

Our Impact

Impact you can feel in every gathering

We measure success in stories, smiles, and the steady rhythm of elders showing up for one another. Numbers matter, but the true impact is felt in the relationships that grow each week.

40+

Elders engaged

Pilot gatherings welcomed elders across Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding suburbs in our first months.

12

Programs hosted

From bingo socials to tech tutorials, each activation restores joy, confidence, and connection.

Dozens

New friendships

Members exchange phone numbers, make weekend plans, and support each other between gatherings.

Human stories

Even in our first few months, the impact of The Village Square is already visible. Elders who once felt isolated are now finding friendship, laughter, and belonging in our circles. Families share that they’ve seen their loved ones smile more, move more, and re-engage with life in ways they hadn’t for years.

Whether it’s a bingo night, a dance circle, a cooking class, a tech tutorial, or a health workshop, each gathering becomes more than an event, it becomes a spark of joy, confidence, and connection that strengthens both elders and their families.
