We need your help to ensure that the vital work of LifePath can continue - meals can be delivered and programs to provide socialization are conducted. This year we’re going virtual! Please join us in the comfort of your own home, as we raise a glass for seniors to celebrate and support LifePath’s Annual Travers Wine Tasting. Your support will make a big difference in the lives of the older adults in the Capital District.
