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 PM.

Hey! Please Do Not Feed Strays
Spring Gardens Management

Dear Residents,

We kindly ask that you do not leave food outside to feed stray animals. While we appreciate your compassion for animals, leaving food out attracts wildlife such as possums and raccoons, which creates safety and sanitary concerns for our community.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
