Ramona Senior Center Official

A few weeks ago a very generous (anonymous) gentleman from our Ramona wanted to help a local restaurant and seniors, at the same time, so he purchased 50 individual pizza kits from Mamma Ramonas for us to hand out to our seniors. We can not tell you how much the seniors loved these pizza kits. We had so much great feed back about how fun it was and how delicious they were. We appreciate this very generous gentleman and thank you!!!

Center and your contribution WILL make a difference, No donation is too small $5 or $500. Every contribution helps and on Giving Tuesday Dec 1, Facebook will match a total of $7 million in donations first come, first serve. We humbly thank you for your support. Our mission is to contribute to the dignity, wellbeing and independence of the community's seniors. We deliver meals to homebound seniors throughout 9 different zip codes and have a pick-up lunch Monday- Friday from 11:30-12:30. When we are allowed to reopen our congregate dining room the meals that are served at the Senior Center provide an opportunity for our seniors to socialize, attend informational talks and participate in various fun activities. We greatly appreciate your support! Consider this, it costs $66,000 per month to run the senior center. Over $20,000 alone just for food. We serve over 10,000 meals per month. We are only partially county funded and we rely on grants, and most definitely DONATIONS in order to provide the many senior services for Ramona.
