Chicago Suburbs, IL
West Suburban LGBTQ+ Senior Services is a program of Chicago Methodist Senior Services, serving LGBT+ older adults and allies in Chicago's western suburbs. The group meets weekly, with both in-person and virtual options, which matters more than it sounds: a virtual option is often the difference between attending and not for someone who has stopped driving. Alongside the group, CMSS runs Senior Connections, an intergenerational friendship program. Chosen family is not an abstraction for many LGBTQIA+ elders, and programs that deliberately build cross-generational connection are one of the few structured answers to that. Meeting times and costs are not published. Contact CMSS to confirm before attending.
