The Theresa Lindsay Multipurpose Center marked Halloween with a community celebration for local seniors, combining holiday activities with access to essential services. The event featured costumes, candy distribution, and opportunities for participants to connect with partner organizations offering support programs.

Center staff said the goal was to create a festive gathering while also linking seniors to resources available throughout the city. Alongside the Halloween activities, attendees received produce and information on efforts to address food deserts and food insecurity. Organizers noted that providing fresh vegetables helps reduce grocery costs for seniors and supports healthier meal options at home.

Participants also received information on services that may help them navigate concerns related to the ongoing federal government shutdown, particularly those relying on CalFresh benefits. Staff reported that many seniors are experiencing uncertainty and said the event offered an opportunity to share guidance and support.
