In honor of National Hamburger Day on May 28, the Stamford Senior Center offered a complimentary drive-thru grab-and-go burger lunch for its members and members of the Church of Archangels Senior Group.
The lunch, dubbed a ”˜”Burger Dash,” was provided to approximately 150 seniors and was held at the Church of Archangels in Stamford. Seniors remained in their cars as they picked up a bagged lunch containing a freshly grilled hamburger, chips, cookies and water. The event was a welcome opportunity for seniors to connect with pals, even by distance.
“It”™s wonderful, I get a nice lunch, I don”™t have to cook and I get to see my friends,” said member Pauline Houser.
The Stamford Senior Center has been closed since March 12th to help protect members from potential exposure to COVID-19. Since that time, the organization has delivered prepared meals and bags of groceries weekly to more than 100 seniors, helping them to stay out of stores during the pandemic.
“While the Stamford Senior Center itself continues to be closed for on-site programs, we are working hard to meet the needs of our members by creating a senior center without walls,” said executive director Christina Crain.
The Stamford Senior Center is a nonprofit, nonsectarian organization established in 1996 to help serve the needs of Stamford”™s older adult population.
