Ruby Loves Her Seniors

Filed under: Colorful Characters, Profile — Dale @ 3:28 pm

Ruby Gim has worked at the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center (Tel-Hi) for nearly 40 years. For most of that time, she has run the senior program, and Ruby loves her seniors! Tel-Hi has a variety of programs for seniors, who come to Tel-Hi from all over the Bay Area. The core of the program is a hot meal, furnished by Project Open Hand and served by volunteers. For many of the seniors, it’s the only hot meal they eat each day, and the only time they get out of their homes or rooms. So Ruby has other things for them to do while there; including exercise programs, Tai Chi, educational programs, and time in the computer lab (where they can use the Center’s computers to send email, write, or play solitaire).

Ruby knows all of the seniors at Tel-Hi, and she gets involved in many of their lives. Most have health issues, financial issues, or other situations and sometimes they need real help, while other times they just need someone to listen. That’s what Ruby does: help and listen. And Ruby has a hug and an encouraging word for them.

Ruby herself has some health issues now, and we can see her getting weaker and thinner. But her enthusiasm for her seniors is just as strong, and each day she rushes around the lunchroom, welcoming them, encouraging them and hugging them.

There are some people in the world who know how to give to others. Ruby is one. She loves her seniors!
