60 or older may attend a Friendship Caf for a lunch meal. Lunch usually includes at least one hot food item, either soup or an entree, fresh rolls, dessert, and coffee, tea or soft drinks. There is no charge for the meal however, donation boxes are located at the meal site for those individuals who would like to contribute to the cost of their meal. If individuals have special dietary needs such as diabetic meals or soft food items, we can accommodate special requests.
Participation is voluntary and suggestions for activities are always welcomed.
Depending on the location, a cafe may host between 12 and 120 area seniors. Transportation Cafes are located in community centers and churches throughout the City of Richmond, and Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan counties. Most cafe participants drive themselves to the cafe, however, transportation assistance may be arranged through Senior Connections on a limited basis.
