Tempe Community Action Agency is hosting Nourishing Generations: A Breakfast in Support of Seniors at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25.
The breakfast event is a public community gathering that will raise necessary funds for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization’s programs and services. The breakfast, which is in its fifth year, will celebrate and educate attendees of all ages about TCAA’s extensive outreach and resources for seniors.
Programming includes TCAA’s Meal on Wheels and Senior Center lunch programming in Scottsdale and Tempe, as well as supportive services and Community Health Worker assistance for healthy, safe aging in place, according to a press release.
“TCAA’s incredible sponsors, donors and volunteers are the foundation of our team’s ability to continue connecting marginalized groups with affordable housing, providing meals to those experiencing food insecurity, and looking out for those who are unable to leave home,” said Deborah Arteaga, CEO at TCAA, in a prepared statement. “Our annual senior breakfast is a wonderful opportunity for community-oriented Valley residents to gather, socialize and uplift older adults in the East Valley.”
Nourishing Generations is at the Granite Reef Senior Center, 1700 N. Granite Reef Road in Scottsdale.
AARP Arizona State Director Dana Kennedy will serve as keynote speaker discussing pertinent topics affecting Arizona’s older adult communities, such as how the Valley’s housing market affects the age group’s ability to secure and maintain safe, affordable housing. Breakfast offerings will be provided by Crêpe Bar and Brick Road Coffee.
