At Kenosha Area Family & Aging Services, Inc. (KAFASI), we believe that our Senior Dining Program is more than just a meal—it's about creating memorable experiences. ????Tonya Panyk, our dedicated Senior Dining Site Coordinator, truly exemplified this spirit at the Lakeside Towers Senior Dining location. For a special event leading up to the Green Bay Packers ???? vs. Chicago Bears ???? game on Sunday, she brought the excitement of game day into the dining room. Clients joined in on the fun by wearing gear from their favorite teams, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. At KAFASI, we don’t just serve meals; we create moments of joy and connection that make each day special. ?? If you know someone who could benefit from our services, please visit www.kafasi.org or call 262-658-3508. Our seniors matter to us, and we are here to be a valuable and available resource for them.
