Enhanced user experience aims to help community more easily access services and programs offered by Bay Aging. <\/strong><\/p>\n

(Urbanna, VA) \u2013 Bay Aging is pleased to announce the launch of its new website, bayaging.org<\/a>, which includes an enhanced user experience to help the community more easily learn about and access services, as well as short video vignettes that help tell the story of the organization. Funding for the new website was provided by the Virginia Housing Development Authority, which supports affordable housing initiatives across the Commonwealth.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBay Aging provides so many important services for older adults and people with disabilities throughout the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula and the new website and videos help explain these programs in a very compelling manner,\u201d said Kathy Vesley, Bay Aging\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cDuring our 41-year history, we have touched so many lives and have so many great stories to tell so we decided to do this with videos. The new website not only helps us raise awareness about the services we offer, it also makes it much easier to donate to the Bay Aging Foundation, volunteer or apply for a job.\u201d<\/p>\n

The videos, hosted on Bay Aging\u2019s new YouTube channel, share stories about residents whose lives were impacted by one or more of Bay Aging\u2019s services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether summarizing how Bay Transit helped a legally-blind, Mathews County resident to continue living independently in his own home or sharing the benefits of Bay Aging\u2019s Meals on Wheels program to both recipients and volunteers, our new videos show the faces behind the collective impact data,\u201d said Michael Norvell, Bay Aging\u2019s Vice President of Development and Marketing. \u201cViewers may not remember that Bay Aging staff and volunteers delivered over 166,000 meals last year, but they won\u2019t forget the profile about one of our wonderful volunteers and Meals on Wheels recipients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new website also allows visitors to contact, volunteer with or donate to Bay Aging 24\/7 and is responsively designed to work well on tablets and smart phones.<\/p>\n

If you would like to schedule a demonstration of the new website and videos, please contact Michael Norvell at mnorvell@bayaging.org<\/a> or 804-758-2386, extension 1231.<\/p>\n
