Waynesboro Senior Center Weekly Report

Chris Graham

The Farm Market Fresh for Seniors Coupon signup day will be on Wednesday, June 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with doors opening at 8:30 a.m. for pre-screening.

Eligible people receive $40 in coupons to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and cut herbs at the Staunton, Verona, and Waynesboro Farmer’s Markets this summer. To qualify for the program, individuals must be 60 years of age or older, live in Staunton, Augusta County, or Waynesboro, have a monthly income of no more than $1,361 (single) or $1,839 (couple), have transportation to one of the Farmer’s Markets, and be present to pick up the coupons.
 

Picnic at Churchville Senior Center

The three area Senior Centers (Churchville, Staunton, and Waynesboro) like to get together periodically to enjoy special programs and fellowship with each other. It has become a tradition that the Churchville Senior Center hosts an Independence Day gathering for all of us because they are located in a park setting that is perfect for a summer picnic.

This year that event is going to be on June 30, a few days before the actual holiday. So the Waynesboro Center will be closed for on-site meals and programs on that day while we go celebrate with our friends from the other centers. We will also be closed for the actual holiday, July 4. Meals on Wheels will be delivered on June 30, while we’re at the picnic, but will not be delivered on Monday, July 4.
 

Weekly Menu

MONDAY :Vegetarian pasta bake, brussels sprouts, baked sliced apples
TUESDAY: Turkey in herb sauce, brown rice, broccoli, pears
WEDNESDAY: Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, carrot coins, fresh fruit
THURSDAY: (Meals on Wheels Only) Chicken salad, potato salad, coleslaw, fruit cup

Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. each day. All meals are served with milk and bread and provide one-third of the daily nutrition value required for adults. Call 942-1838 to make reservations by 10 a.m. on the day you plan to attend.
 

Waynesboro Senior Center

The Waynesboro Senior Center, sponsored by Valley Program for Aging Services, invites people 60 years of age and older to participate in a variety of programs to be offered in the coming week. The center, at 325 Pine Ave., in the Jackson-Wilson building, is open 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Transportation is provided as needed by a VPAS van driver, who also helps with shopping trips and appointments to local doctors. Contributions toward expenses are accepted.
