The Meeting Place kitchen is offering to prepare a holiday meal. Reneé Duvall, nutrition coordinator for the on-site and meals on wheels programs, said, “We have this fabulous kitchen and we would love to help with the holidays. This is a great way to use our fine facility and raise additional funds for the nutrition programs for seniors in Polk County.”
The menu includes turkey and dressing (standard or cornbread), gravy, yeast rolls and two side dishes, all prepared by hand. The meal has a fixed rate with a tax-deductible donation for The Meeting Place. Desserts are extra with choices ranging from pecan pie to pumpkin roll. Orders need to be placed by Nov. 11. Call Reneé at 828-894-0001.
Pam Doty, director of The Meeting Place, said, “This fundraiser is a great opportunity to give thanks by giving back. You get a great meal for the holidays and help us to provide nutritious meals for more of our seniors.”
Polk County has three senior centers: The Meeting Place in Columbus, the Saluda Center in Saluda and The Meeting Place II in Green Creek. Activities are offered Monday through Friday at all locations.
