Fox Meadow residents age 55 and older are invited to attend monthly Coffee + Plus meetings hosted by the Association of Concerned Tenants.

The program, which launched in February of this year, meets the third Thursday of every month at 10 a.m. in the community room. ACT partners with the housing authority to organize the sessions, which is aimed at improving health and wellness and offering a source of community engagement for senior citizens. The overall goal is to keep our seniors active, engaged and healthy.

Some months include guest speakers or planned activities. For example, in April, two representatives of Appalachian Agency for Senior Citizens visited to provide an overview of services offered by the agency. In July, participants put their artistic talent on display when a local artist conducted a paint party (at left).

ACT members and housing staff encourage all seniors to attend the program.
