Kent Parks Deli & Cafe celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Kent Senior Activity Center last Friday.

The first 80 participants received lunch at a 1995 price, $3.50, to commemorate the event.

The city-subsidized program, a staple in the senior community, is open to the public Monday to Friday, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., with lunch priced at $6. Lunch on Wednesday is $5.

Consolidated Food Management contracts with the city, offering to serve lunch at a reduced cost for its services.

Helena Reynolds, Kent Parks program manager for the senior center, thanked city officials and the many community partners for supporting the lunch program.
