July is here, and the year is already halfway through!
We’ve had an exciting year so far—and there’s still so much more to come! Our staff and volunteers continue to strive for excellence in serving this amazing community. We’re thrilled to see more community members taking advantage of our services. Our dining centers are busier than ever, which is wonderful! We love seeing friendships blossom and rooms filled with smiling faces. We’re also serving more Home Delivery participants, and we couldn’t do it without our incredible community partners, devoted volunteers, and dedicated staff. Thank you all for making this possible!
The 2025 Farmers Market Program is off to a great start!
We’ve received many applications, and we’re happy to report that everything has been running smoothly this year. If you’re just learning about the program, it provides $80 in benefits for low-income seniors to use at approved Farmers Markets. To qualify, individuals must be aged 60 or older, meet income guidelines, and live in Benton or Franklin Counties. Applications are available at all of our dining centers, or you can call us at 509-735-1911 to request one by mail. If you have any questions about the program or how to apply, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Mark your calendars—Oktoberfeast is coming!
Our annual Oktoberfeast event will take place on October 4th at our campus off Fowler Street. The event features a 5K run (or walk—your choice!), traditional German food, a beer garden, a kid zone, and so much more. We’re even bringing back the Dunk Tank this year! Keep an eye out for more information on how to register and other event details. It’s going to be a fun-filled day for the whole family!
