Wonderful day during our program made even better by ACC Senior Services coming out with games and prizes. So thank you ACC Senior Services for your time and support. Also, a huge thank you to Wing Wa Supermarket for always willing to donate to the community. Your generous support makes such a huge difference. We want to mention that we have 100 plus participants and growing weekly, with only 2 staff running Healthy Village Seniors. We do our very best to make sure everyone is accommodated and included. No one is excluded regardless of age or limitations. We also welcome volunteers any time. Thank you!
