Simply put we love people and we love food.

People have been gathering over a meal since the beginning of time, a tradition we feel is worthy of continuing, because for us, there is seldom something better then good food and good company. All to often as we age we seem to let the dinner and lunch dates we kept with friends fall by the wayside, loosing site of all of the wonderful health and wellness benefits socialization and joy can bring to our lives - that is where we come in!

Community Cafe is a weekly lunch (every Tuesday at 12 noon) hosted by CCSH where seniors in our community are able to come and enjoy a delicious, affordable 3 course meal ($9.00 per person) while socializing with friends new and old. Enjoy menus created specifically with seniors health in mind and enjoy periodic entertainment and talks on a number of topics related to seniors health and wellness, including different programs and services available right here in our own community. At Community Cafe we welcome all to join us for an afternoon of friends, fun, and good food!
