Organizations work together to pass out over 150 meals to participants in the East Austin Community who are over 60 years old
Austin Parks and Recreation Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center, Senior Transportation, and Meals on Wheels worked together passing out over 150 meals to participants in the East Austin community who are over 60 years old. Meals had extra special treats donated by HEB’s Riverside location from their abundance of Easter candy and decorations. The pictures do not depict all the smiling and happiness which was given, but reconnection with face to face communication brought back laughter and excitement again at Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center.❤️
