News from Cascadian Terrace: Printmaking Workshop

At Cascadian Terrace Apartments in Portland, OR, Sandra Oberdorfer led residents in a printmaking project. From Sandra: “Words have power. The words we choose matter. Today, during their weekly social hour at Cascadian Terrace, residents offered up their favorite words and an ink print was made in celebration of it for them to take home. Chosen words included Meaningful, Prosperous, Independent, and Survivor.”

News from Metro Compton: Healthy Eating

Metro at Compton Senior Apartments, EngAGE

Eligible residents at the Metro at Compton Senior Apartments in Compton, CA, are grateful for the Food Forward program which has partnered with EngAGE to deliver fresh produce on a monthly basis. Food Forward staff and volunteers rescue 300,000 pounds of surplus produce each week from fruit trees, farmers markets, and the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. 100% of these fresh fruits and vegetables are donated to over 300 hunger relief agencies and programs across eight counties in Southern California.

At Metro Compton, the garden club meets once a month with Lillibeth, who is part of the Master Garden program.
