Looking for Seniors to Eat!


(No, we're not talking about cannibalism here :)

The Rockwood Building is the newest center for social services in East County.  One of their new services is a meal for seniors, 60 and over.  As this Outlook article indicates, there's not enough people showing up!

If you know of seniors who need a little help reducing their food budget, let them know about this meal.

It's held at 124 NE 181st in Gresham at lunchtime.  A three dollar donation is suggested, but they'll accept whatever the patron can afford.


All the local senior meals are as follows:


• Ambleside, in the Multnomah County East Building, 600 N.E. Eighth St., Room 155, 503-953-8201
• Rockwood, in The Rockwood Building, 124 N.E. 181st Ave., 503-953-8156
• For door-to-door transportation, call Ride Connection, 503-226-0700

Do you want to volunteer at one of the meals? 
• To volunteer for the lunch program or for Meals on Wheels, call Liz LaPlante at the Rockwood location, 503-953-8156, or Carolyn Williams at the Ambleside location, 503-953-8201
