Residents, families and team members at Wingate Residences on the East Side recently came together over Italian food for a cause that hits especially close to home for many older adults and their families.
Led by Val and Wingate’s culinary team, the Providence senior living community hosted a family-style Italian Night benefiting the Rhode Island Alzheimer’s Association, raising $750 to support its work.
Residents and their families gathered around the table for an old-school Italian dinner featuring homemade spaghetti and meatballs, Italian sausage, biscotti and spumoni, along with Chianti and Limoncello Spritzes.
Beyond the dinner itself, the evening offered residents and their families an opportunity to give back to an organization whose mission has a meaningful connection to the senior living community.
