Meal service for the elderly Local volunteer groups are active

We hold dinner parties twice a month at community exchange centers and community centers so that elderly people living alone can enjoy meals in a lively atmosphere.
Meals cooked in the kitchen by volunteer members of 15 groups in the city are provided to the elderly members for dinner.
After meals, we all sing songs, play simple games and chat to deepen exchanges.
*In order to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections, exchanges such as conversations and songs may be canceled.
