Start the New Year by building new friendships at the Reedley Senior Center!
Volunteers needed
We couldn't provide all the services we do without our volunteers. Did you know that volunteers’ lives increase seven years? Start the new year by volunteering at the senior center.
We are in need of drivers for our Gleaners program. Tuesday mornings volunteers pick up vegetables and fruits from nearby farmers to give to seniors on Wednesday mornings. Also help is need- ed on Wednesday morning to set up for our distribution of bread, Danish, fruits and veg- etables.
Help needed for our se- nior lunch program. Monday – Friday we have a federally funded hot lunch program for seniors. We need help with set up, serving and clean up. You can pick a day you can come to help. Whether it’s one day a week or more we would ap- preciate you help. Call Chris- tina at 637-4207 for more in- formation.
Celebration Cake
