“I am happy because I get to go to some places that I wouldn’t have been able to go. I also get to do this with my friends. The fresh food has saved me money since I can’t afford much.”

“Attending the cafe has changed my life drastically. From the time I came to Virginia from New York, I lived alone with my beloved dog, Sherlock Holmes. The program has gave meaning to my life after my family did not want me to leave home in NY. I never thought it was a mistake, I waited, then I found the cafe 5 years later. I have been coming to the cafe almost 4 years now. I so love and appreciate being a member of this cafe.”

“I appreciate the transportation otherwise, I would not be able to partake in the cafe activities. I’m so grateful to be a part of a group of my own age. I have adopted them as my second family. We have the best manager that keeps us engaged and shares information that is well needed.”

“The cafe gives me a chance to get out of the house and meet other people and talk. Before, I’d often feel alone but this program has been great to come to. I have enjoyed the fresh food and it’s impacted my life greatly. With the price of fresh food in the stores, I am indeed grateful to receive them. Thank you!”

“I moved to Virginia from Florida during COVID and I didn’t know anyone except for my family. I became quite bored due to a lack of activity. The center has been a God send for me! I have met lots of nice friends, stay active through exercising my body and mind with Tai Chi, and socialize with my friends. I am thankful for the transportation because when I moved here, I left my car in Florida and stopped driving.”
– Stafford Cafe participant
“Having transportation pick me up and drop me off helps me out a lot. We are all so lucky to have the staff we do and the agency providing these programs for us.”

“I was looking for things to do here in Virginia after being in Philadelphia for 60 years. I found the cafe through the internet and it has been a blessing. I am a person that likes to stay busy and the cafe has kept me busy through exercise, crafts, trips out, etc. to name a few. I believe you must keep moving once you become older.”

The program gives me a chance to get out and use my skills, helps me with my health, and laugh and talk with others my age. It helps me feel that I am not alone. The fresh produce from The Table at St. Georges helps so much. I can try new foods and enjoy having a meal together with my daughter.

Since arriving and participating at the cafe, the staff and management have treated me fairly and with respect. The staff have been very helpful. I feel safe and informed. The entire experience has been uplifting and informative. The fresh food we receive are always fresh and clean. The food is also packaged in a generous bounty!

The senior cafe has helped me to appreciate the beauty of someone caring enough about seniors to do something nice, loving, and kind! Horray for loving people! It’s a beautiful thing to know in this time and with many things taken away from seniors. The fresh produce has helped me to acquire a taste for food I have never eaten before. Wow, oh boy look what I have been missing!!
