SACO – Age Friendly Saco in collaboration with Ferry Beach Retreat and Conference Center will host a community meal on Feb. 18. Organizers say all of the meals will be delivered to the homes of those who have signed up.
Age Friendly Saco Director Jean Saunders said recipients will be able to partake of chicken parmesan on a bed of penne pasta with marinara sauce and zucchini, accompanied by a mini baguette. The meal is in a microwave-safe container and is fully cooked but will need to be reheated. Dessert will be a strawberry cupcake with cream cheese icing.
