We recently surveyed our Social Meals Program participants....Here's what they had to say -
đź’¬ "Thanks so much for this social gathering over delicious food. We truly appreciate the friends we've met... it has a positive influence on our mental health."
đź’¬ "As seniors who do not have a large social network, we enjoy the opportunity to gather with like-minded people over a tasty meal. We feel valued in our community when there is a focus on seniors."
💬 "To me it means meeting with old friends and making new ones. Talking to someone other than family. So it's mainly the conversations that wouldn't be possible without this outlet — plus a very good healthy meal."
đź’¬ "Without it, I wouldn't know where to go. After my husband left, I got my freedom and could come make friends."
đź’¬ "A chance to get out of the house, visit, and make new friends. Good food, good people, good meal out."
This is what connection looks like.
A warm meal.
A friendly face.
A sense of belonging.
For many seniors, this is more than just lunch —
it’s community, conversation, and something to look forward to each week.
If you know a senior who could use a little more connection in their life, we'd love to welcome them to our table.
