COMMUNITY GARDEN

Our community garden is full of goodies! Please feel free to come by Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 9am-5pm to pick fresh herbs & vegetables, or help with garden maintenance.

It has been 27 months since we modified our senior congregate meal program to a drive thru experience in response to COVID. In that time span, our staff and volunteers spent 342 days serving bagged lunches in the rain, wind, snow, and 112-degree heat (with some really nice weather also thrown in). We began transitioning to a hybrid indoor dining/drive through model last July and have been working our way back to our “normal” congregate meal program. That transition culminated on June 30th with the retirement of the drive through program in favor of indoor congregate dining. We are exceptionally proud to have served just under 42,000 meals in these 27 months and we thank our partner, EJ’s Catering, for all of their contributions.

The purpose of the congregate meal program is to bring seniors aged 60 and older together in a communal environment to satisfy each person’s needs for socialization activities. Besides lunch, we encourage our program participants to engage in our pre-lunch (bingo, book groups, exercise activities, etc.) and post lunch (pinochle, mah jong, ping pong, field trips, and more) activities.

Lunch is served every M/W/F at noon and is just a $4 suggested donation for those over 60. (EBT accepted) Any individual under the age of 60 will be charged $7 per meal.
Take home meals are not allowed by our funding.

We know that this structure will not meet the needs of everyone. For those who need meals outside of our abilities, please contact our Meals on Wheels partners at (206) 448-5767 or mealsonwheels@soundgenerations.org. Of course, we are always available to talk.
