MAKING CONNECTIONS
This September, the National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) wants the Fremont Senior Center along with senior centers across the nation, to show how they help individuals age well. Many adults 55+ frequent the senior center and have lunch at Lake Side Café, located inside the center. Lunch is served Monday—Friday at noon by Chef David Lee and his hardworking volunteers. Eating with others at the Fremont Senior Center (located at 40086 Paseo Padre Pkwy in Fremont), isn’t just about enjoying a delicious, hot, affordable meal — it’s also about connecting with peers, making new connections and getting out of the house on a regular basis. The Mental Health Foundation states sharing mealtimes is good for your mental health. Whether it be through sharing experiences with friends or just having someone to talk to. Regular shared mealtimes provide a sense of rhythm and regularity in lives. They offer a sense of containment and familiarity and can evoke deep feelings of contentment and security. So, if you’ve been meaning to engage with others more, take some time to stop by during National Senior Center month — and age well! Chef David Lee preparing tomato basil sauce for lunch
