Pike Market Senior Center

Coronavirus Precautions Make Feeding Food-Insecure Seniors a Challenge | Eater

"This senior center in central Seattle serves breakfast and lunch to roughly 100–150 older adults each day but has seen about a 20% drop in congregate meal participation as the coronavirus spread. Leadership suspended nonessential activities (fitness, dance, art classes), intensified cleaning and hygiene protocols, and shifted social-work contacts to phone when possible, while prioritizing continued meal service because many vulnerable clients lack safe alternatives and rely on the center for health and social support." - Virginia Gewin
