CLASSIC TIMES
From Our Director: Lynda Christison
After a blistering hot summer, it is lovely to have cooler
weather and fall colors! Now that the temperature has
dropped well below triple digits, it is a great time to try
something new. Join our Meals on Wheels volunteers and
deliver meals to homebound seniors, try a new activity, or
go on an adventure with the Classic Travelers. Check out
all of these possibilities and more just by turning the pages
of this newsletter.
Let’s hope for a winter with no snow or ice. Just in case,
please make sure you have emergency supplies on hand.
Chat with you bad weather buddy about what each of you
will do in an emergency and how you will check on each
other. Visit www.ready.gov for tips and ideas. The Lt.

meals we serve by over 9% or by more than 13,500 meals!

always made a huge difference in the number of meals we
are able to serve. Thank you and please consider LCRAC’s
Meals on Wheels program in your year-end giving!!
Want to give a holiday gift to a senior or to his/her pet?

seniors services and distribute them prior to the Christmas
holidays. The holidays can be challenging for those who
live alone, have limited family or have lost loved ones. This
year’s bags will contain an easily prepared meal. We
invite you to assist us by conducting a non-perishable food
collection at your church, business, club, etc. or by making
a monetary donation.
Save the Date!
We need 20 oz. cans of beef stew, individual serving sized
fruit cups and pudding cups, single cups and pudding cups,
single serving packets of instant oatmeal and grits, breakfast
bars, and packets of crackers. For safety of our
seniors, please make sure the items have not expired.
Thank you for supporting Project Pantry.
Big Thanks to all the Artists & Homestead Hospice for
making this year’s Art Show a success!!!!!
