On June 10th, 2025, SSAFE hosted a 1-hour virtual discussion and Q &A on Sustainable Eating and Food Systems, featuring dining directors from senior living communities:

  • Kate Hays from Wake Robin
  • Lisa Kuschka-St.Onge from Lathrop North/East
  • Norine Mulry from RoseVilla Senior Living
  • John Platt from Crosslands Communities
  • Stephanie Tolson from Collington

The panel responded to prepared questions about their sustainable eating programs and food systems, sharing both successes and challenges in implementing climate-friendly menu offerings and sourcing local foods. Most notably, the panelists were open to resident questions and feedback and eager to learn from one another.
