East Wenatchee Senior Living Supports Western Day Lunch

Teri Ayala presents Mark Blakeslee with the gift basket he won in East Wenatchee Senior Living’s drawing.

We'd like to thank East Wenatchee Senior Living and Colonial Vista Senior Living for their continued sponsorship of our Western Day lunch. They have been supporting our lunch program for over five years by paying for the food we provide (roast beef with all the fixings) and in exchange, we allow them to set up a booth to talk to our lunch attendees. They also volunteer and help us serve lunch to the tables. This lunch is hugely popular and usually sells out in advance.

In addition, they bring cookies and offer a door prize drawing. On January 15, Mark Blakeslee was thrilled to win the gift basket that East Wenatchee Senior Living provided. Congrats, Mark!

Our lunch program is extremely important because it assures that all seniors in our community  have access to nutritious means on a regular basis. Food security is a critical issue for our senior population. Our lunches also offer a social opportunity where attendees can interact with others.  We charge just $5 for members, and we also have an Angel Fund to help those who cannot afford to attend.
​
If you know of a business that would like to sponsor a lunch day, please have them contact our executive director, Lisa Blair. It's a great opportunity to interact with our members and we all appreciate the contribution to serving an affordable meal.
