Denise Usener | The Golden Hub & 50 Years of Serving Fredericksburg’s SeniorsMost people in Fredericksburg have driven past the Golden Hub without knowing what’s happening inside.Every single day, the Golden Hub delivers over 100 meals to homebound seniors across Gillespie County, Fredericksburg, Stonewall, Harper, and beyond. They run fitness programs, arts and social clubs, congregate dining, and one of the most important Meals on Wheels operations in the Texas Hill Country. And they’ve been doing it since 1975.Denise Usener is the Executive Director of the Golden Hub, officially known as the Gillespie County Committee on Aging, and she joins Judge and JD to talk about what it actually takes to keep a 50-year-old non-profit running, why so many locals don’t know the full scope of what they do, and what the community can do right now to help them build something that will serve Fredericksburg’s seniors for the next 50 years.The Golden Hub has a capital campaign underway for a new facility, and they need Fredericksburg behind them.If you live here, love this town, or know a senior who depends on services like these, this is an episode you need to hear.Learn more & donate: goldenhub.orgVolunteers always needed, especially Meals on Wheels driversFollow us: @theJudgeAndJDShow on Instagram pioneerfbg.com#JudgeAndJDShow #Fredericksburg #FredericksburgTX #GoldenHub #TexasHillCountry #SeniorCare #MealsOnWheels #GillespieCounty #NonProfit #CommunityFirst #FredericksburgTexas
