DESCRIPTION:
On July 1, 2014, Open Heart Kitchen (OHI� began pxoviding a congregate lunch meal program at the
Dublin Senior Center Shamrock Cafe. In cooperarion with the Area Agency on Aging of Alameda County
and the City of Dublin, Open Heart Kitchen prepares lunch meals offsite and delivers the meals to the
Dublin Seniox Center. Onsite meals are served Monday through Friday, starting at 11:30 AM. Until July 31,
2015 the lunch program was on a reservation basis, with patrons making their lunch reservation at least one
day prior. Beginning on August 1, 2015 reservations were no longer required. Dropping this requirement has
generated another sizeable increase in the daily attendance.
Open Heaxt Kitchen's daily menu consists of a cup of soup, mixed salad, entree, dessert and choice of
beverage.The monthly menu is available at the Dublin Senior Center front desk.
The cost for a meal is a $3.00 suggested donation. All ages are welcome to have lunch at the Senior Center
Shamrock Cafe.
