The holidays are a time for togetherness, joy, and celebration. But for many seniors, this season can feel lonely. La Comida is committed to changing that by bringing the warmth and spirit of the holidays to Palo Alto’s senior community.
Through festive meals, fun activities, and a focus on building connections, we create moments that make the holidays truly special. Whether it’s a Thanksgiving feast, a Hanukkah celebration, or a New Year’s gathering, our events are filled with joy and community spirit.
We’d love for you to join us and help make these moments even more memorable.
Building Connections Through Festive Meals
At La Comida, we believe that a meal is more than just food—it’s a chance to create memories, share stories, and build friendships.
This sense of connection is especially important during the holidays, a time when many seniors may not have close family or regular social interactions. Our gatherings offer more than just a meal; they provide opportunities to laugh, celebrate, and feel part of something meaningful.
Whether it’s sharing brisket and latkes or raising a glass to toast the New Year, these moments remind our seniors that they are valued and never alone. These simple gestures of kindness and care leave lasting memories well beyond the holiday.

We’ve got an exciting lineup of holiday events to bring joy to our seniors this season:
