Older adults throughout Whatcom County are invited to join the Whatcom Council on Aging (WCOA) and local senior centers for Picnic with a Purpose.
The event, which replaces their annual Senior Day in the Park picnic, will include a week of drive-through cookouts at five senior centers throughout the county during August 23 to August 27. Picnic with a Purpose will stop at Blaine Senior Center at 763 G Street from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, August 25.
Participants will receive a delicious take-away meal as well as a bag filled with information and swag to help them reconnect with their senior center and community partners in the areas of housing, transportation, recreation, health and wellness, entertainment and more.
In 2020, more than 800 seniors throughout Whatcom County participated in Picnic with a Purpose, and this year WCOA expects an even larger turnout.
Event sponsors include VibrantUSA, Signature Healthcare at Home, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Dewey Griffin Subaru, Regence, Eden Home Health, and Seeking Health.
A $5 donation is suggested, or whatever attendees can afford. All donations will benefit Whatcom County senior centers.
The schedule is as follows:
• Monday, 8/23, 11:30-12:30 p.m. at Sumas Senior Center
• Tuesday, 8/24, 11:30-1 p.m. at Lynden Senior Center
