On a recent Friday in July, Lori Contadino, the director of the Greenwich Commission on Aging, and her team, arranged a free lunch drive-through barbecue featuring Chef Teddy, the daily chef at the Greenwich Senior Center.
It was a happy lunchtime as a safely masked chef and his helpers had the grill smoking, flipping burgers and hot dogs. First Selectman Fred Camillo stopped by to wave hello and greet some of the members as they drove through. Some members walked through, waiting at socially distanced spaces.
As life in Greenwich is slowly, carefully, beginning to open up, it is still important for the more vulnerable older adults to try to remain at home and self-isolate as much as possible. The Greenwich Senior Center continues to remain closed to reduce their risk of exposure and remain safe.
The Town of Greenwich Commission on Aging has been an official department of town government since 1975.
