POWAY, California — In this city that boasts three synagogues (Adat Shalom, Ner Tamid and Chabad of Poway), the senior center serves a diverse clientele representing many religions. Currently prevented by the coronavirus from offering such usual activities as art classes, yoga, nutrition classes, lunches, tax preparation, and billiards, the Poway Senior Center has embarked on a new project.
Through a continuing rummage sale, staffed by between seven and women who will pick up useable items from people’s homes, the Center is “building up a kitty,” for when it resumes operations, according to Abby Boretto, a board member. In the video report above, Boretto describes the activities of the center, and the volunteer efforts to be ready for its reopening.
