On January 22nd, CPC Nan Shan Older Adult Center (OAC) partnered with the Buddha Light Foundation to offer traditional Laba porridge to older adults in preparation for the Lunar New Year.

This warm and nutritious dish, made from a blend of grains, beans, nuts, and fruits, symbolizes gratitude, harmony, and good fortune for the coming year. Its soft texture and high fiber content provide essential nutrition during the winter months.

Beyond its physical benefits, serving Laba porridge helps older adults connect with a cherished cultural tradition, evoking memories and reinforcing a strong sense of community and care.
