St. Patrick Senior Center has been serving Detroit’s seniors since 1973. It’s now the Detroit Area Agency on Aging’s largest congregate meal provider, which means it dishes out a lot of meals to area seniors—meals that weren’t always high on fresh fruits and vegetables. That’s a problem with many possible solutions, but the one that St. Patrick’s is implementing as part of its Healthy Food Connect grant is as creative as it is healthful: It’s teamed up with Rising Stars Academy, a unique culinary school for special-needs students aged 18-26, to help local youth gain culinary experience while improving the health of local seniors.
