Friendship Cafes, Meals and Socialization in a Congregate Setting

Senior Connections Friendship Cafes are neighborhood gathering places designed for older adults. Friendship Cafes combat social isolation which has a negative impact on our emotional and physical health.

A hot midday meal, good friends, and diverse activities allow older persons the opportunity to stay connected to the community while meeting their nutritional needs. Some participants may be eligible for transportation if available. An initial assessment and periodic reassessments are performed to verify eligibility and to provide assistance to secure other services if needed. 

Friendship Cafes serve residents of the City of Richmond or counties of Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Charles City, New Kent, Powhatan, and Goochland.
