Elders: Communities, Rituals, and Legacy
b'Many of us probably have family recipes that have been passed down from generation to\\xa0 generation. These recipes, which have transcended time, are a reminder of how elders in our family tree continue to have lasting influences on our lives, even and especially in a time of isolation.\\n\\nThis week, we dedicate our stories to elders, grandparents and family members who came before us. First, we follow a food delivery program for elders on a rural island in Maine as they bridge the distance to build community. Then we\\xa0 take a seat at the table to learn how retirement home residents are rejoicing in the simple act of dining together. We journey to Georgia, where a farmer is continuing a century-long family legacy and we dive into the various ways food is used to remember ancestors around the world.'
