We have partnered with Reeser's Ice Cream and will offer pints of raspberry ice cream for $5 each. These will be available for pre-sale along with chicken dinners as well as the day of the BBQ on a first come, first served basis.
Community Aid Update
Community Aid is scaling back on the number of bins they have in the community. The bin here at the center has been identified as one that will no longer be available. At some point in the coming weeks it will be taken away. After this point, you may take donations directly to Community Aid and donate on behalf of Red Land Senior Center; this will continue to make us eligible for quarterly donations from Community Aid. Thank you!
Programming Update
It has been a long few months, but we have begun our ‘soft opening’. This simply means that we will continue our drive thru, takeout meals and are incorporating limited indoor programming. Please understand, the only way we may offer programming at this point is through stringent protocols that work to keep members, volunteers, and staff safe and healthy. Will this be forever? No, but it is what is needed for now.
We fully realize everyone will have their own personal feelings about this, but the only way we keep our doors open is when each and every one of us is on the same page. Please, please, please, take a moment and read through the opening protocols before signing up for a program. If your health prevents you from coming in person or you feel you cannot follow the protocols, all of our programs will also be available virtually through Zoom or Facebook Live.
What will make this transition successful will depend on three main things:
1) Everyone must properly wear a mask or face shield.
2) Everyone must pre-register for programs. We can only have a certain number of people in a given area based on square footage via PA Department of Aging guidelines. Anyone who comes as a walk in will not gain entry. If you forget to sign up, simply call before you leave and we can tell you whether or not we may accommodate you.
3) Stay positive and know we are all in this together. This is uncharted territory for all of us. Grant those around you grace as we navigate this together.
We look forward to having you back! As always, please reach out to us with any questions either by calling the center at 717-938-4649 or emailing me at rlscdirector@gmail.com. Take care of yourselves and each other!

Meals
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for everyone’s understanding and support through these crazy times. In an effort to limit daily contact and help ease some of the demand on our food provider, The Nutrition Group, meals are available for pick up Monday through Wednesday only until further notice. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are hot meals. Thursday and Friday meals are frozen and available for pick up on Wednesdays.
If possible, please give your meal reservations two weeks at a time as this will help the staff with accurate meal counts. As always, please continue to make your reservation at least one business day in advance by 10:30 AM. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation as we do all we can to serve our community while keeping everyone safe. Please call the center at 717-938-4649 with any questions/reservations.
