Curbside Meal Service:
The Town of Erie’s Active Adults program is providing a curbside meal service at the Erie Community Center (450 Powers St.) every Thursday at 12:15 p.m., unless notified differently. This meal is available to anyone living in Erie and surrounding communities. On lunch days, participants drive through the circle drive on the west side of the center and staff place the meal through an open window. This is a Weld County Senior Nutrition meal. There is a $4 suggested donation for 60+ and a $14 fee for 59 and under. You can donate with cash (exact change) or check made payable to Weld Senior Nutrition Lunch Program. You can make the check out for an entire month of donations.

Zoom Coffee Talk
Every Monday join the Active Adults staff and others in the live Coffee Talk via Zoom. Each coffee talk we share updates and have a question of the day. You can just watch and listen, or you can actively participate by joining in the conversation. And if your computer has a camera, we can see your bright and smiling face. So, make sure you have clothes on! You know who I’m talking to!!
