This is where we can keep notes for building out the site
I’ve been going thru and rebuilding the old blocks to let them make use of the improved Gutenberg features – the goal is to be able to minimize the custom css and get rid of old, clunky code.
On the home page, you will see newer versions of the blocks that aren’t identical to the 2021 site. In the past, we would tweak things like the width of text blocks to ensure we didn’t have orphan words or move the text based on the background picture. We can tweak things after the new images and text have been added to the site.
I am saving a copy of the old blocks as ‘block patterns’ just in case we want them. We will want to delete them when the site goes live (and delete unused images)
Tasks to be done once the new content is in:
- adjust the anchor tags & css so clicking on all the navigation jumps are below the sticky header
- Determine final navigation and at what point to switch to mobile menu (ipad?? and what stacked logo/hamburger will look like)
Volunteerism and Outreach
Trellis staff and volunteers provide information about older adult services throughout the seven-county metropolitan area. We focus on making information accessible and appropriate for historically underserved communities so everyone has what they need to thrive.
In 2022, the outreach team offered Senior LinkAge Line presentations in American Sign Language for the first time. Video recordings of these presentations are available on our website. Trellis volunteers speak seven languages and represent the rich diversity of our community.

Advocacy
This could probably use an intro paragraph…. We focus on making information accessible and appropriate for historically underserved communities so everyone has what they need to thrive.
Senior Meals
In 2022, Trellis partnered with the Minnesota Association of Area Agencies on Aging to call for more funding for senior meals. Senator Erin Maye Quade and Representative Peter Fischer authored bills that led to a one-time appropriation of $11 million for senior meals. This funding is vital to keep older adults in our community healthy. Thank you to the many partners who joined this effort.
This is the default button that should show up anytime that the button block is used.
The secondary button is a pattern that can be added. I’ve used a group here just to demo it on a typical background color.

Juniper partners with community-based organizations and healthcare providers to offer 16 evidence-based health promotion classes that help people take charge of their health and their lives.
Juniper had an extraordinary year in 2022, delivering more classes to more people across Minnesota than any other year. More than 8,000 Minnesotans participated in these programs through a mix of online and in-person classes. We are grateful to our providers and class leaders for their efforts to achieve this milestone.
Juniper and the Minnesota Department of Health established a unique partnership that enables Juniper to provide the National Diabetes Prevention Program as a Medicare benefit for eligible individuals. Juniper is the only organization in Minnesota and one of eight organizations in the country with the capacity to do so.
“I know I’ll benefit from it for the rest of my life.”
– Kathy, Juniper Participant
