As part of the celebrations, SCI collaborates with local celebrity chefs to enhance their Meals on Wheels program, making meals more delightful for seniors.

Hey, Savannah! Exciting things are brewing in our charming city as Senior Citizens Inc. (SCI) celebrates a monumental milestone—65 years of dedication to serving nutritious meals to our cherished older adults in coastal Georgia. Isn’t that fantastic? Over the years, SCI has become a lifeline for many in the community, and this anniversary is just the beginning of more delicious things to come!
To kick off the celebrations, SCI has decided to spice things up by partnering with some of Savannah’s celebrity chefs. These talented chefs will help elevate the Meals on Wheels program, ensuring that our seniors not only receive the nourishment they need but also a dash of excitement and culinary flair! One standout collaboration comes from the incredible Executive Chef Jason Cummings of the River Street Restaurant Group. He whipped up a special version of his famed corned beef and cabbage recipe, specially designed for the clients at Wexford—Savannah’s beloved Irish pub.
And guess what? This special festive meal was served to our Meals on Wheels clients on Saint Patrick’s Day! Now, doesn’t that sound like a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday? Just the thought of tasty, hearty Irish fare being delivered to those who could use some extra cheer warms the heart!
As the driving force behind SCI, the organization’s president emphasizes that meals are about so much more than just food—they’re vital connections and a meaningful lifeline for the community. The Meals on Wheels program goes beyond providing sustenance; it fosters a sense of community and belonging among our older adults. Imagine receiving a warm meal from a friendly face that brings a smile to your home—there’s no better way to show that we care!
Chef Cummings expressed his hope that his culinary contribution would not only delight the taste buds but also spread joy and a sense of celebration for the clients receiving these meals. It’s heartwarming to see local chefs using their skills to bring happiness and nourishment to those who may feel isolated or in need. Plus, who doesn’t love a scrumptious meal prepared with love?
But hold on, folks! The corned beef and cabbage dish from Wexford is just the first of many chef collaborations planned throughout the year. Each meal aims to showcase high-quality cuisine, inspiring both support for SCI’s mission and encouraging our seniors to age successfully in their homes. It’s all about bringing exceptional dining experiences right to their doorsteps!
