Finding Connection at Connections

When David Bode was asked how he first learned about the Connections senior dining program, he laughed and replied, “I got hungry.” But for David, Connections has become much more than a good meal.

After losing his wife, David found himself feeling lonely and facing the challenge of cooking for himself. A retired pastor who served for 40 years, David has always enjoyed being active and connecting with others. Today, he says he comes to Connections “for the food and stays for the talk.” The friendships and conversations keep him coming back, and he especially enjoys spending time with like-minded people. His advice to anyone considering attending? “The food is good and the fellowship is better.”

Why not join David for lunch? Connections offers a welcoming place to enjoy a delicious meal, meet new friends, and share great conversation. To reserve your spot at an upcoming Connections meal, call 218-347-1974 and leave a message for Amanda.
