For many singles over 50, the holiday season can bring a mix of emotions. Thanksgiving, in particular, has a way of reminding us of the families we’ve raised, the partners we’ve loved, the traditions we’ve built and sometimes, the ones that have changed.
At Kindred Social, we believe that this season can also be a beautiful reminder of something else: new beginnings, new friendships, and the courage it takes to open the next chapter of your life.
Whether you’ve been single for a while or recently entered this new phase, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to honor everything you’ve overcome and everything you’re stepping into.
A Holiday That Holds Space for Both Gratitude and Growth
Being single over 50 doesn’t mean being alone. In fact, this stage of life offers opportunities for deeper, more meaningful connections than ever before, especially when you surround yourself with people who understand your journey.
This Thanksgiving, we hope you take a moment to celebrate:
Your resilience — the strength it takes to reinvent your social life
Your openness — the willingness to show up, try new things, and meet new people
Your independence — the ability to build a life that feels authentic and full
Your community — the incredible group of singles over 50 who are choosing connection over isolation
At Kindred, we see every member who joins our community as someone choosing to grow, to invest in themselves, and to create meaningful moments with others who get it.
Why Community Matters More Than Ever
Although Thanksgiving often centers around family, the truth is that community is family too, just chosen later in life and that’s exactly why Kindred Social exists.
We’re building a place where singles over 50 can:
Meet organically
Build friendships that last
Create memories through shared experiences
Feel seen, welcomed, and understood
Find connection without the pressure or chaos of online dating
This isn’t about swiping. It’s about showing up, in person, with real people.
As we kick off our first events and watch our community grow, we are deeply grateful for every single one of you who has already joined us, your willingness to take a chance is what makes Kindred possible.
A Thanksgiving Wish for You
As we head into the holiday, we hope you give yourself the gift of:
May this season bring you hope for what’s ahead, joy in the connections you’re building, peace with where you are on your journey, and gratitude for the courage it took to get here.
From all of us at Kindred Social, we are truly thankful to have you in our community. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to continue building something meaningful, fun, and authentic together.
Happy Thanksgiving from your Kindred family! Here’s to new chapters, new friendships, and a holiday filled with warmth and connection.
Kindred Social
