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.
