WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - On July 31, Meals on Wheels Yolo County launched Café Yolo, a social dining experience for seniors age 60+ to meet and socialize every Wednesday at the West Sacramento Community Center.

Share stories, laughter and experiences with other local seniors, developing new community connections. It is an opportunity for not only a meal, but to socialize.

Café Yolo takes place every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the West Sacramento Community Center, 1075 W Capitol Ave., West Sacramento.

To make your reservation, call (530) 662-7035 or email [email protected].

Reservations are required 24 hours in advance because meals are prepared in advance. Reservations ensure that everyone is served.

Need a ride?  No-cost Via Rideshare is available for seniors to and from the Community Center on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. thanks to sponsorship by the City of West Sacramento. Be sure to mention the program when booking a ride. Sign up for Via by calling 916-318-5101.

Catch a ride anywhere in the City with Via for an affordable, flat fare. Request a ride when you're ready by using a Smartphone App or by phone.
