J Cafe Congregate Lunch at AgeWell at the JCC

 

Building on the idea that social eating is healthier eating, the J Cafe is a kosher congregate meal program for Allegheny County residents age 60+. The program was designed to ensure that everyone age 60+ gets a nutritious meal at low or no cost while also making sure that people don’t have to eat alone.
