Boston Seniority Magazine

We've been publishing Boston Seniority Magazine for more than 40 years. We cover topics of interest to older Bostonians. These include news, feature stories, resources, and upcoming events.

Front cover for the 2025 calendar issue of Boston Seniority Magazine. There is text that read, from top to bottom, "Boston Seniority", "Age Strong Commission - City of Boston - Mayor Michelle Wu", "Calendar 2025 - Issue 1 - Vol. 29", "Special 2025 Calendar Edition", "Mayor's Letter - Resources - Important Phone Numbers", with a large background image of older adults rowing in the Charles River, and on the bottom of the cover are images of Mayor Michelle Wu, Age Strong Commissioner Emily Shea, and others.

From this issue:

"I hope you enjoyed a holiday season filled with light and laughter, community and connection.

This Boston Seniority calendar isn’t just a great way to track important appointments and celebrations—it also offers reminders of benefits you might qualify for. From SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and Circuit Breaker Tax Credits, to Seniors Save, helping older adults repair/replace heating systems. And, for a list of important phone numbers—from who to call in an emergency, to how to get in touch with the City to report a problem—flip to the last page.

In February, Boston Seniority Magazine returns with issues throughout the year—updating you with information you need, plus articles about residents like you. You might just recognize people we feature from your neighborhood, community center, or place of worship!

And, as always, if there’s anything you need, please reach out to Age Strong to speak with your advocate, who can answer all your questions, help fill out applications, connect to volunteer opportunities, and keep you in the loop on programs, classes, and special events across our city. Plus, they will make sure you’re connected to all the benefits, savings, and resources you’re eligible for.

Boston today is a city you helped to build. Every park, school, library, and community center is infused with the collective contributions of residents who helped shape our neighborhoods into the communities they are today. So I want to thank you for all the ways you’ve helped us to make Boston a home for everyone over the years. And I hope you’ll take advantage of all our Age Strong Commission and The City of Boston have to offer in return.

Wishing you a healthy, joyful, and fulfilling 2025!"

Mayor Michelle Wu
