Press Release from The Estuary

The Estuary, a pioneer in providing comprehensive senior services and a regional leader in the Meals on Wheels program, is thrilled to announce Estuary Day—the first in a series of 50th anniversary events. This significant milestone marks half-a-century of The Estuary’s dedicated service, expansion, and commitment to the well-being of older adults in the community. The celebratory event is set to take place on Friday, March 22 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at 220 Main Street in Old Saybrook. The event is free and open to the public, although an RSVP is required.

Since its inception, The Estuary has become a beacon of hope and support for countless seniors by providing not just meals, but a comprehensive array of wellness services designed to enhance the quality of life for our aging population. The Meals on Wheels service has been a cornerstone of The Estuary’s success, ensuring that no senior within our reach goes hungry. As a regional leader in senior services, The Estuary has continually adapted and expanded its health and wellness services to meet the evolving needs of our community.

The community is invited to join in commemorating this landmark occasion. The afternoon will feature delicious food, live music, and a presentation on the history and impact of The Estuary.

“This event is not only a celebration of past achievements, but also an opportunity to look toward how we might impact the future of healthy aging in our area and to embrace the community we serve,” said Heather Milardo, the director of development and outreach for The Estuary. “

Stan Mingione, executive director of The Estuary, is equally enthused about this upcoming event, as well as the fact that The Estuary is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

“We are incredibly proud to celebrate 50 years of service to our community. This anniversary is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, staff, and supporters,” Mingione said. “We are excited to share this momentous occasion with the community that has been integral to our story. We look forward to many more years of service and support.”
