Dine with a Doc® is a free community outreach program dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors and veterans. Enjoy a complimentary meal, hear from a doctor or specialist, and ask questions about topics that matter to you.

Meals and programs are made possible by Senior Education Ministries, Inc., volunteer presenters, community partners, and generous local donors.

The Faith Behind the Fellowship
Our ministry is rooted in the invitation of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, to open the door, share a meal, and find restoration. We reflect that invitation by opening community doors to seniors and veterans with free educational meals and genuine connection.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
