Lunches are provided by the United Way Area Agency on Aging. Donations, in any amount, are appreciated but not required.
The food items, drinks, flatware, and cups that are provided by United Way Area Agency are the only items allowed in the dining room. NO EXCEPTIONS. Condiments are allowed if they are store bought and labeled.

Policy on Food Taken Away from the Center

Participants receiving a congregate meal shall be allowed to take home fresh fruit, unopened cartons of fruit juice; wrapped cakes, cookies, and snack cakes, individually wrapped portions of corn chips or potato chips. All other leftover foods shall be discarded at the end of the serving day.

**Take only one serving of milk, juice, fruit, snack cakes & cookies with your meal. If there are leftover items, after everyone is served, you may help yourself with one additional serving. The milk must be consumed at the center.

If you would like to purchase an additional meal after everyone is served, they are available for $5.53.

Hot lunches are ordered based on the number of people that support the center regularly and are served at 11:30, on a first-come, first-served basis. The lunch tickets are limited to the number of meals ordered for any given day. Be sure to sign in daily by 10:30 to get yours before they are all gone. You must sign up and have a ticket to receive a meal. Please do not sign other people on the meal list unless they are in the building. We cannot hold meals for people who have a ticket and are not present at the time lunch is served. No lunches will be served after 12:00.

**If you receive frozen meals at your apartment, you are not eligible to receive the hot congregate meals served at the Center Dining Room.

From the Desk of the Property Manager

• Please continue to work on keeping your patios clean. Keeping your patio neat, clean, and clutter-free applies to all residents.
  
  
• There are also no exceptions to parking on the grass. You or your guests cannot park on the grass to bring in groceries.
  
  
• Please be reminded that pet owners must pick up after their pets. Make sure all pets are on a leash when outside.
  
  
• It is also important to keep your apartment clean. Maintenance will make me aware of any apartments that need housekeeping attention. We will then schedule a housekeeping inspection and follow-up.
  
  
• Please be reminded that our management office will be closed on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in celebration of Juneteenth. Please call in any work orders as soon as possible.

Thank you for being a valued resident at Spring Gardens. We look forward to serving you. Let's continue to keep our community beautiful, quiet, and peaceful.
