Wake Up Tri-Counties Casandra Talks Senior Center Daily Lunch, Tuesday Dinner, Friday Cinnamon Roll Breakfast, Golf Playday, and Loaded Baked Potato Fundraiser

Casandra Schmoll from the Henry County Senior Citizens Center joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about July meals, Friday cinnamon roll breakfast, golf playday, and the loaded baked potato fundraiser. The Henry County Senior Center is gearing up for a busy summer, including a baked potato fundraiser on July 16, 2025, from 11 AM to 1 PM. For just $8, enjoy a loaded Idaho potato with toppings like cheese sauce, bacon, broccoli, and more—plus a famous oversized cookie. All proceeds support the home-delivered meal program benefiting area seniors, which delivers 301 meals on 9 routes throughout Henry County. Casandra said, "So there are a lot of people who need these meals but really can't afford them, but we give them the meal anyway, which is wonderful that we are able to do that. And these fundraisers help with that situation." Call 309-853-8831 by July 15th to reserve your meal. Additionally, registration is open for the September 6 golf outing at Midland Golf Course, raising even more support. Details and menus can be found on the Senior Center’s Facebook page.

The Henry County Senior Center is encouraging amateur golfers of all ages to sign up for its upcoming golf outing, a major fundraiser supporting home-delivered meals. Teams can be mixed with no strict age limits, making it a family-friendly event. Sponsorships for holes and raffle basket donations are welcome and help sustain vital local services. Casandra asks that all raffle baskets get to the senior center by the end of August so they have time to prepare the baskets. You do not need to be present to win.

The center also highlights its $4 weekday lunches at noon, $5 Tuesday dinners at 5 PM $5, and Friday morning cinnamon rolls or sausage biscuits for just $1.

Call 309-853-8831 to reserve a tee time. Plus, there are ongoing meal deals, license plate discounts for seniors, and Friday morning cinnamon rolls for just $1.
