Senior Lunch Bunch

Dine With Friends

Launched in August 2021, the Senior Lunch Bunch brings together senior neighbors to enjoy a hot, nutritious meal at Lizard’s Thicket in Columbia and Blythewood.

On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, friends gather around the table for food, laughter, and connection. It is a simple way to share a meal and build community close to home.

  • “The Lunch Bunch gets me out of the house, keeps me moving, and gives me something to look forward to.”
