2nd Annual Walk for Seniors & Wellness Fair

2nd Annual Walk for Seniors & Wellness Fair presented by Texas Inpatient Consultants

Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels continues celebrating 50 years of serving local area seniors by kicking off March for Meals week with the 2nd Annual Walk for Seniors and Wellness Fair! This week commemorates the historic day on March 22, 1972, when President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 to include a national nutrition program for seniors 60 years and older.

This untimed walk is approximately 1 mile around the pond at the Main Pavilion, Sugar Land Memorial Park, followed by a Wellness Fair. Participants will be eligible for booth bingo prizes.
