Senior Citizens of South Fayette Township Treated to Lunch
The South Fayette Area Senior Citizens Association provides social and recreational opportunities for its members and spouses age 55 +. The purpose of the association is to attend to the social and recreational needs of its members and contribute to their happiness and well-being. That is exactly what Tricia Wood and her nutritional staff from South Fayette Township School District did when they presented the South Fayette Area Senior Citizens Association with a hearty luncheon on January 16.
Tricia Wood, Food Service Director and Nutritional Specialist at South Fayette Township School District, is a member of the Pittsburgh Regional Food Service Directors Association( PRFSD), which granted a charitable donation to be used to benefit South Fayette senior citizens. PRFSD’ s charitable donations are intended to assist small, local food banks, churches, and small community organizations as they work directly with their community families / students. Some of the organizations PRFSD has contributed to include:
• Pioneer Pantry
• Gospel Alliance Church
• Blessings in a Backpack
• Second Harvest
• South Fayette Senior Citizens Community Center
The Pittsburgh Regional Food Service Directors( PRFSD) is an organization of professionals committed to supporting independently operated School Food Services. Its members are dedicated to the maintenance and improvement of Child Nutrition Programs for the benefit of students, schools, and food service professionals.
Wood reached out to the president of the Senior Citizens Association, Ms. Margie Smith, to introduce herself and offer this wonderful meal. Ms. Smith was very excited and couldn’ t wait to tell her board and members.
Wood says,“ Dr. Bille Rondinelli, Superintendent at South Fayette School District, is always encouraging the District’ s leadership team to connect the District with the community members. It is a way that we can give back to our community members to let them know how much we care.”
There were approximately 85 guests in attendance. The meal consisted of slow roasted pot roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, applesauce, rolls and dessert. A special thank you is extended to the cooks who prepared the meal and the staff who delivered the meal. Wood said she received many cards and thank you notes from the members.
In addition to providing this luncheon, each year the school hosts a“ Senior-Senior” Night featuring a spaghetti dinner offered to the community senior citizens prior to the first home football game. Following the dinner they are invited to attend the game and introduction of the senior class athletes.
