How to Help Support our Senior Lunches!
This is a special and urgent plea to help fund our Senior Luncheon Program at Solano Pride Center.
With the uncertainty of continued funding for LGBTQAI+ programs as well as the future of Medicare and Social Security, our seniors need a solid rock on which to cling
Since 2017, our Senior bi-weekly Luncheon Program has been that rock.
Seniors 60+ receive a well-balanced and nutritional lunch from local markets and, whenever possible, local restaurants. The luncheon not only provides food for the body but a space for folks to connect with friends. Additionally, we provide timely topics such as: Fall Prevention tips, How to Avoid Scams, Disaster Preparedness, Pet Care, Accessing CalFresh, Use of Pronouns and Why They Matter, the Representation of Older Adults in the media, and many more.
Due to rising prices, our capacity to deliver high-quality meals is being impacted. Seven years ago, we spent approximately $10 per senior; currently, the cost is between $15 and $20. This represents an annual increase of between $2,500 and $3500. Our funders can only cover about 60% of that cost. This is why we are asking you to help us.
A monthly contribution of $50.00 will help pay for meals for 3 seniors, $100 per month will pay for 6 meals. We will list sponsors to this program on our Website.
Solano Pride Center is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit. Donations can be made via Paypal (@SolanoPride), Zeffy (https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/keeping-solano-pride-centers-senior-lunch-program-alive) of by check payable to Solano Pride Center.
In this time of uncertainty and loss of services, thank you for your caring and support.
CoLife Seniors, a local program that helps older adults stay safely and comfortably in their homes, even when daily tasks start becoming difficult.
We carefully match seniors with vetted residents who live rent-free in exchange for light support and companionship. This can include things like preparing meals, driving to appointments, or just being present and having a great conversation.
It’s a safe, affordable alternative to in-home care or assisted living, and a compassionate solution for members of your community who might otherwise feel isolated or overwhelmed living alone.
Would you be open to a quick call to see how we could be a resource for your community?
Warmly,
Derek Snook
