From July 10 through August 14, PEACE, Inc., Food Services, in partnership with the CNY Regional Market and the Onondaga County Department of Adult & Long Term Care Services, hosted a six-week Senior Nutrition Luncheon series at the CNY Regional Market. Held every Thursday, the program served 456 fresh, healthy meals and offered local seniors an opportunity to gather, connect, and enjoy each other’s company.
Staff and volunteers from PEACE, Inc. played a key role, preparing and serving each meal while creating a welcoming atmosphere for attendees. Midway through the series, Skippy’s Ice Cream joined in, donating sweet treats that were especially popular during the July 31 gathering.
Following the success of the summer luncheons, PEACE, Inc. has launched a new monthly Senior Lunch in Skaneateles at the First Presbyterian Church. Held on the first Wednesday of each month, this location marks the 29th PEACE, Inc. Senior Congregate Dining Site — joining 28 others in Onondaga County and one in Madison County.
These programs continue to bring more than just a meal — they foster connection, conversation, and community across Central New York.
