Café 55 menu for the week of OCTOBER, 2026 🍎

SourcePoint’s Café 55 is a place for people ages 55 and older to eat lunch and have fun! Café 55 is open to anyone in the community for lunch (11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) For Delaware County residents aged 55+, lunch is available on a donation basis with proper paperwork (suggested donation: $5). Those under 55 or guests of a SourcePoint member may purchase lunch for $8.

Please note that items may change based on availability; however, we strive to closely adhere to these menus and occasionally add extra items for the day.

Weekly menus can also be found on our website: MySourcePoint.org/cafe-55-weekly-menu/

Together, everyday choices can make a meaningful difference in our community. We are excited to announce that SourcePoint's Meal On Wheels program has been selected as a beneficiary of the Kroger Columbus Fight Hunger bag program.

Now through the end of November, every $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger bag purchased at the Lewis Center Kroger location sends $1 back to our organization.

Make your next shopping trip to Kroger at📍6417 Columbus Pike, Lewis Center, OH, and make your grocery shopping count!

SourcePoint trip-goers enjoyed a fun, colorful, and inspiring outing to the opening day of the American Quilters’ Society (AQS) QuiltWeek at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. ✂️🧵

Members explored and marveled at intricate, one-of-a-kind quilts from around the world. They shopped for the latest fabrics, supplies, and equipment, attended educational sessions, and connected with fellow quilting enthusiasts to advance their personal quilting projects.

We are grateful that this national organization brought international artistry to Central Ohio, and we are proud that SourcePoint was part of it.

A special thank you to Mary Ann Evans for coordinating the trip and sharing these photos!

Thank you, Delaware County Foundation, for hosting another wonderful Evening of Generosity. We are so grateful to the foundation, as well as our community partners, for making Delaware County such a caring, generous, and vibrant place to live and work.

It’s inspiring to see so many organizations and individuals come together in support of our community. We’re proud to be part of a county that continues to invest in one another and create opportunities for people of all ages to thrive. ❤

❤️ THANK YOU to everyone who supported SourcePoint's Speakeasy-themed fundraisers this month. To all who attended, donated, volunteered, bid, played, danced, and celebrated with us—thank you for making both the SourcePoint Speakeasy Fundraiser and the SourcePoint Dance a big success. Your ticket purchases, donations, generous auction bids, and sponsorships helped us reach our goal and made for a fun, memorable week!

We couldn’t fulfill our mission to help others set a course to live well after 55 without our community's support. Thanks to your generosity, older adults throughout Delaware County will continue to receive the support and services they deserve. A million thank-yous… we couldn't do it without you!

🚨New Class Alert!

Enroll now (at MySourcePoint.org/register or 740-363-6677) for an October 16 presentation on new home builds in Delaware County. Representatives from K. Hovnanian Homes - Ohio (55+ community), D.R. Horton Homes, and Fischer Homes will be available to show you what they offer in new construction, what is currently available, and answer any questions. Even if you are not ready to buy or build, this class provides a lot of valuable information, including:

🏠 Your housing needs may change as you age, but planning ahead gives you more choices. Stay informed about local housing options and consider features such as accessibility, maintenance, location, and future needs.

🏠 Did you know that some builders' interest rates are lower than what conventional lenders offer?

🏠 Inventory is up in existing housing, but the demand for one-story living is a dog-eat-dog world.

🏠...and more!

This class is a great way to get an idea of what you may be looking for in a new-construction home without running from builder to builder, because all you have to do is come to SourcePoint! Friday, October 16, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

SourcePointers had an enjoyable and meaningful adventure earlier this month, particularly significant in light of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

The group traveled to Springboro for a delicious lunch, followed by a moving performance of "Come from Away." They also made a bonus stop at Young's Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs.
