The Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services’ Livable Communities: A Vision for All Ages Initiative, is proud to partner with 1Community on Stories from the Table, an impact campaign inspired by NONNAS, the joyful new comedy now streaming on Netflix.

Based on a true story, NONNAS is a love letter to the grandmothers who raised us and the flavors that keep their memories alive. The film celebrates food, family and the wisdom of our elders with humor, heart and lots of delicious dishes.

As part of the campaign, Livable Communities is hosting three special NONNAS Watch Parties. This is your invitation to gather, reflect and share stories filled with conversation, laughter and meaningful connection and food.
