Last Wednesday, November 17, the Rotary Club of Castro Valley joined forces with the HARD Kenneth Aiken Senior Center and Spectrum Community Services in a Thanksgiving lunch takeaway.
Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Castro Valley, each senior was provided with a nutritious lunch along with a word of encouragement.
Castro Valley Rotarian Carol Bigelow coordinated the event with Hayward area Recreation District Staff members Deniela Keiffer, Senior Program Supervisor, and Jennifer Tibbetts, Senior Center Coordinator.
Over 30 seniors received their free take away lunches which were distributed by Carol Bigelow and Jennifer Tibbetts at noon in the parking lot of the Kenneth Aiken Senior Center.
“Each senior took away a nourishing lunch and the feeling that they were remembered by the community in a time when they have been experiencing prolonged social isolation. We, the “givers” in this situation, took away a well-nourished sense of community spirit,” said Bigelow.
