Since 2007 senior citizens in Malheur County, Oregon have been invited to attend a holiday luncheon at the Snake River Correctional Institution (SRCI) Minimum Facility in December.
The event is co-hosted by SRCI employees and adults in custody (AICs), and the Malheur Council on Aging & Community Services.
The event is held in the dining hall at the SRCI Minimum Facility. A choir of SRCI employees and AICs sing festive carols during the luncheon. The meal is prepared, paid for, and served by AICs.
For the past three years (2020 – 2022) the event had to change to a “grab & go” format due to COVID restrictions. This year, the 2023 luncheon will be back on-site at SRCI.
The luncheon will be held at the Snake River Correctional Institution Minimum Facility 777 Stanton Blvd. Ontario, OR 97914 on December 7, 2023, from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm. Arrive by 11:15 am. Once on-site follow the event direction signs.
For media attendance RSVP to Andrea Dominguez at Andrea.R.DOMINGUEZ@doc.oregon.gov by December 6, 2023. A list of equipment, tripods, batteries, microphones, cameras, writing materials, etc. is required.
