Senior Luncheons

They say a picture -okay, 4 pictures- is worth a thousand words and we are delighted to share these images of our weekly Senior Luncheon Program.  

Senior Luncheons at the Hakalau Jodo Mission are an EXPERIENCE! Seniors gather to tell stories, sing, exercise, laugh and eat a wonderful lunch. 

Luncheons are usually once each week from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., although the day of the week does vary. See the Calendar of Events for the current schedule. 

Lunch is free, however, if you want to make a donation to the Temple, there is a Donation calabash. (Suggested donation is $8)
Miyo Harumi (left) and Akiko (right) provide the inspiration and leadership to plan, prepare and serve a weekly luncheon attended by 30-50 grateful "kupunas" (average age: 80) who gather at the nearby Hakalau Jodo Mission dining hall to sing, talk story and delight in Miyo's traditional and healthy Japanese-style cooking.
