and the Sitek Family Trust
Your contributions to the Bingo program support this important lunch program. 

Community lunches support Poway seniors by providing:

• social opportunities to meet with others
   

• budget-conscious seniors a lower-cost alternative to restaurant dining
   

• Provides at least one hot meal a day for seniors who may not otherwise cook or buy complete meals for themselves

Friends of Poway Seniors was awarded a cooperative grant by the IRS so that our community seniors could participate in the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program. 
Because of this grant and the dedication of our volunteer tax preparers, we assisted over 481 clients with their 2021 tax filings this year.
Thank you to the City of Poway for providing the tax preparation space at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center.
