Eat, Drink and Be Merry

LGBTQ+ Meet-Up

For over a decade, Mystic Valley Elder Services has been providing a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ older adults to gather. Every month we host Mystic Tea, a place to meet, eat and socialize.

MVES provides coffee, tea and a hearty meal, but more importantly, a venue for good company and conversation. While Mystic Tea is usually an informal meet-up, we also offer speakers or special guests occasionally throughout the year.  

We are excited that Mystic Tea is growing! We have new members as well as new visitors stopping by to get to know the group. Please join us!

Mystic Tea is held on the third Tuesday of the month from 4-6 p.m. at MVES’ headquarters at 300 Commercial Street in Malden. Mystic Tea is open to LGBTQ+ adults from anywhere in Massachusetts (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning).

If you have an LGBTQ+ older adult in your life, please spread the word about Mystic Tea. Studies show LGBTQ+ older adults are more than twice as likely to live alone, and often face social isolation and vulnerability. Having support from the community can make all the difference.
