Hoodland Senior Center’s rummage sale was a big hit, thanks to the incredible support from our community. We had a huge turnout of items donated by generous community members and we raised over $3500! All the money will go toward funding the Senior Center’s Meals on Wheels and Medical Ride Transportation programs. This means that local seniors will have more meals delivered to their homes and we can accommodate the increased need for rides to medical appointments. How awesome is that?!
The rummage sale wasn’t just about shopping though. There was so much more to enjoy! We had a sizzling hotdog BBQ, and a big thank you goes out to Barlow Trail Roadhouse for donating their delicious Mac Salad. Local guitarist B. Stearns brought his musical talent to the event, making everyone tap their toes and enjoy the lively tunes. The food and entertainment were a hit!
The Lions Club deserves a big shoutout for hosting this wonderful event. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and effort.

In other exciting news, the Hoodland Senior Center is bringing back the ever-popular congregate lunches. On August 8th, ten folks gathered at Barlow Trail Roadhouse for the kickoff lunch event. We heard your requests to reinstate the senior center tradition of sharing stories and sharing meals through twice-monthly congregate lunches. Future lunch events will be scheduled for the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, locations varying and to be determined.
