The JCC East Bay is excited to carefully transition back to a select number of in-person programs for our older adult community.
More than anything, we are looking to understand how to best meet the needs of our older adult community as we start to bring back in-person programming.
Join us on the third Thursday of each month at the JCC East Bay to enjoy lunch with your community! This is a BYOL (bring-your-own-lunch) with delicious dessert, coffee, and tea provided.
