A Volunteer’s Profile: Senior Lunch Ladies by Nicole Ramirez Every Monday at noon, the Valley Room fills with conversa- tion, laughter, and the shared joy of our Senior Congregate Lunch. Seniors gather to enjoy a meal together, visiting until about 1:30—but the day truly begins much earlier. By 10:30 a.m., our incredible Senior Lunch volunteers are already hard at work. The Community Center kitchen comes alive with the smell of coffee, the clink of trays, and warm greetings. These dedicated volunteers do far more than serve food—they create friendship, dignity, and belonging. They set the tables, slice pies, arrange meals, serve, and clean up with as much enthusiasm as the guests themselves. Together, they’ve built a smooth-running program that nourishes more than 50 seniors each week.

We are deeply grateful for their time, energy, and commitment. These women—ranging in age, back- ground, and experience—share a common desire to give back. Many are retired, some live right here in the Valley, and all bring compassion and heart to this work. The Senior Lunch is about more than food—it’s about connection. For seniors living alone or with limited mobility, it may be their only chance to socialize. Our volunteers understand this deeply: some- times a conversation can feed the soul as much as the meal. They check in with guests, offer help when needed, and embody the spirit of mutual care that defines the San Geronimo Valley. We continue to welcome new volunteers of all ages who want to make a difference. This program sim- ply wouldn’t be possible without the kindness and commitment of those who show up each week. On behalf of the entire staff and community, we extend heartfelt thanks to our Senior Lunch volun- teers: Carol Rebscher, Pat McGraw, Miyo Hall, Linda Rockwell, Stephanie Fein, Jeanine Chavin, Marilyn Englander, and Kay Bolla, who ensures the food arrives each week.
