SEA BREEZE DINING

BEECHWOOD HOUSE SENIOR CENTER

Sea Breeze Dining overlooks beautiful Narragansett Bay in historic Wickford. Nutritionally balanced hot lunches are served Monday through Friday. If you prefer a lighter meal, sandwiches are also served daily.

The primary goal of the program is to promote good health among older Rhode Islanders. However, many people say the best part is making new friends and    being reunited with old friends.

At Sea Breeze Dining holidays are celebrated with special meals such as St. Patrick's Day with Corned Beef and Cabbage. There is also a special Birthday Party with cake, ice cream and flowers each month.

Diners contribute to the cost of the meal according to their ability to donate, but no one is refused a meal if they cannot afford the suggested donation of  $3.00.

Sea Breeze Dining is for persons 60 years of age and older. Persons may also participate if they are under 60 if married to a person over 60. Persons may also attend if they are disabled and under 60. Guests may attend who are under 60 years for the full price of $3.50.

Meal reservations may be made by calling (401) 268-1592 (9:30 am-1:00 pm) two days in advance, one week for holiday meals.  Our dining room Manager will be happy to reserve a place for you.

Transportation is available by calling (401) 268-1590, two days in advance

Volunteers are needed at the Sea Breeze Dining to both help in the kitchen and serve meals. Please call (401) 268-1590 for more information regarding volunteering.

Meals On Wheels

MEAL ON WHEELS is a vital and well established program in North Kingstown. While we are able to provide meals for between 40-50 individuals on any given day, during the course of a month we will average serving 40 different individuals. This service attempts to solve some of the problems presented by older persons or the handicapped who are homebound. Convalescents can also be served, which enable them to return to their homes following a hospital stay. Meals on Wheels comes into these homes with nourishing food Monday through Friday.

Without volunteers, this program would not be possible. Our volunteers come from a cross section of our community, housewives, college students, business people, retired persons, teachers or part-time works.

The North Kingstown volunteers are a very dedicated group. Because of the volume of need our routes are broken down into three areas: North, South, and Middle. These meals are delivered between 11:00 and 1:00 and consist of a hot, ready to eat dinner within an insulated, recyclable container. Delivery of a meal once a day also means MORE THAN A MEAL to the recipients. The personal touch of a warm and friendly visitor can do wonders to brighten their day.
