Emmanuel Outreach Center – Over 60 Senior Lunch Program

In Wayne County, New York, nearly 21% of residents are age 60 or older , according to the New York State Office for the Aging. That’s over 19,000 individuals in our community living in their golden years. For many, this season of life brings deep rewards — time for family, reflection, hobbies, and service. But for some, it can also bring challenges such as isolation, loneliness, and depression , especially when regular opportunities for social connection become fewer.

At Emmanuel Outreach Center, we believe no one should feel forgotten in this season of life . In partnership with the New York State Department of Aging and Youth , we host the Over 60 Senior Lunch Program — a place where nutritious food, warm fellowship, and joyful activities come together to nourish both body and soul.

Fellowship and Faith

The Bible reminds us that “Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life” (Proverbs 16:31). We believe the wisdom and stories of those in their later years are treasures worth celebrating.
Just as Acts 2:46 tells us the early believers “broke bread together with glad and sincere hearts,” we open our doors to create spaces of fellowship, joy, and shared faith.

Here, you’ll find more than a meal — you’ll find friendship, encouragement, and a place where you matter .

Join us.
Whether you’re new to the program or a familiar face, we look forward to welcoming you at our table.
