When youre hungry, your day-to-day becomes about food, says Michael. Here at the Senior Center people get to sit down and have a meal together that is cooked with carewhere at least for a little while they can put their worries aside.
Over 2 years, the Senior Center increased the number of meals served from 32,000 annually to an estimated 48,000 meals by the end of 2012. Thats a 50% increase!
