Senior Citizen Picnic

This annual picnic at SRN has been a tradition for over 35 years, started by Father Dave Hawley to connect St. Ann’s Parish in Baldwin with St. Robert’s. It has since expanded to include low-income seniors from local nursing homes and senior centers in the Grand Rapids area. For some of these seniors, it is their only outing for the entire year. The event features lunch, entertainment, games, and prizes. Volunteers are needed for decorating, food prep, serving, set-up, clean-up, and socializing. Donations for gifts and raffle prizes are welcome beginning in June until the event. It’s a great opportunity for families to volunteer together and make the day special.

This year, 165 guests, along with their aides and drivers, will be invited to attend our Senior Citizen Picnic. A large party requires a healthy group of volunteers! From decorating to food prep and clean up – and everything in between, WE NEED YOU!
