Residents at The Metro at Compton Senior Apartments are grateful for the monthly Food Forward program. Food Forward staff and volunteers rescue over 375,000 pounds of surplus produce each week from fruit trees, farmers markets and the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. All of these fresh fruits and vegetables are donated to various programs, including EngAGE. ~ Nutrition and health education programs are provided with support from our partner, SCAN Health Plan.
The Garden Club meets once a month to discuss garden issues and needs. Residents then go out to the garden to water it and clean it up. Let’s flash back to a late summer harvest!
Computer/Tech Class offers a friendly atmosphere in which residents can bring their computers, tablets, and cell phones to receive help operating them.
EngAGE changes lives by transforming affordable senior and multigenerational apartment communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness, and creativity.
