It is one of nine sites in Schenectady where a hot noon meal is provided each week day to approximately 30 elderly people. In addition to the peer companionship, support services include transportation, recreation, nutrition education, health and welfare counseling, shopping assistance and referral.

Volunteers are always welcome to join the seniors for lunch and fellowship.
