Lunch treat For The Elderly
Dignity Kitchen provides entertaining city tour for elderly and the disadvantaged. The tour brings them around Singapore’s most iconic places that sometimes rekindle nostalgic moments or a chance to see them for the first time. At the end of the tour, they are treated to a luncheon at Dignity Kitchen savouring our delicious foods and desserts.
The aims of the lunch treat are:
- For elderly to be out of their home and explore the outside environment
- To have a decent and wholesome meal
- To inspire elderly to lead active and positive lifestyles
Why elderly and the disadvantaged?
The elderly given that they are left to fend for themselves in their silver years and opportunities for outings are few and far between.
The disadvantaged including the low income groups do have neither the means to be able to go for such outings.
The lunch treat for elderly creates a platform where:
- The disabled student gets to cook for the elderly and the disadvantaged
- The elderly and the disadvantaged are inspired by the thought that people with disabilities are cooking their lunch
- Corporate and individuals alike get to do social responsibility through sponsorship of the lunch treat
Hence, we at Dignity Kitchen want them to experience the enrichment exercise of the outing so that they will be able to fully appreciate it and also to let them to be aware that we care.
