The Senior Lunch offers a healthy and nutritious meal for residents 60+ while also creating a social hub for connections and activities. The Senior Lunch is a nexus point where Seniors can gain access to resources and referrals, learn about upcoming events, and make new friends.
Participants are required to fill out an intake form prior to attending their first lunch. Intake forms are available on site at the Community Center.
Directly following the Senior Stroll meet us in the West Room at the Center and gather for a casual get together of tea and coffee, healthy snacks, and cookies. During the gathering the Center often curates interesting presentations from local organizations to connect seniors to important resources in the community.
