Friendship Cafes

Senior Connections is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping seniors maintain independence and quality of life as they age. Senior Connections Friendship Cafes are neighborhood gathering places designed for seniors. Friendship Cafes combat social isolation which has a negative impact on our emotional and physical health.

A hot midday meal, good friends, and diverse activities allow older persons the opportunity to stay connected to the community while meeting their nutritional needs. Some participants may be eligible to use vans provided by Senior Connections if transportation is available. An initial assessment and periodic reassessments are performed to verify eligibility and to provide assistance to secure other services if needed. Please visit the Friendship Cafe brochure for cafe locations and more information about Friendship Cafes. The application is available on the website.



Friendship Cafes serve residents of the City of Richmond or counties of Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Charles City, New Kent, Powhatan, and Goochland.
