FALLBROOK – A $6,000 grant from the Legacy Endowment Community Foundation will help provide about 1,000 hot meals delivered to homebound seniors this year by the Fallbrook Senior Center. The grant will help fund a crucial need for area seniors who rely on the meals for nourishment and companionship.
The grant was welcomed by senior center staff and directors, who praised Legacy’s unrelenting support for North County nonprofit programs that assist seniors and the disabled.
“We’re all working together,” said Phyllis Sweeney, senior center special projects manager, during a brief gathering of leaders from the two groups. “This is a strong component of that. We’re all trying to keep (seniors) home, healthy and happy.”
That sentiment was echoed by Legacy officials.
“We at the Legacy Endowment Community Foundation are proud to be partners with the Fallbrook Senior Center,” said Executive Director Mark Polarek.
Volunteers are sought for many of the senior center’s programs and activities. To volunteer or to obtain more information on the center or its programs, call (760) 728-4498.
