You need to know you residents to determine what they would prefer. For example, the majority of my residents work and are either single or single with children.
According to our trash container, they eat out a lot. They always seem to be in a hurry to get somewhere.
What would that type of resident really enjoy?
I would do donuts and coffee, juice early as they exit and hand out tickets for a drawing later.
Pizza to go with fresh salad, garlic bread, canned drinks, to go plates with bags so it is all easy to carry.
Again, hand out tickets for a drawing. Have a lot of prizes instead of a few expensive ones. Everyone loves to win!!!
