Well-Being with Intergenerational Experiences
At WesleyLife, we believe that by building bridges across generations, we can not only deepen interpersonal relationships but also strengthen the physical, intellectual, and spiritual well-being of all our community members.
What is intergenerational programming?
At WesleyLife, community and belonging are integral to our residents' happiness. Intergenerational programming provides a unique opportunity for younger and older age groups to form meaningful connections, pursue shared passions and interests, and develop a deeper sense of purpose.
Experience the impact firsthand.
As we age, our relationships with one another and with younger generations offer new opportunities for learning, exploration, and growth. We believe that through holistic intergenerational programming, all parties can experience the magic of creativity, storytelling, problem-solving, physical wellness, and more. Choose from a variety of programs based on your unique interests and passions.

Polk County Generations Hall
Polk County Generations Hall was created to connect individuals across generations for meaningful connections through engaging conversation, insightful and relevant programming, and opportunities to learn from one another — all designed to ease the loneliness of social isolation and foster the pursuit of joy.
Rent this 1,750-square-foot space for your next event! Generations Hall is fully equipped to meet the needs of your business meeting, off-site retreat, celebration, or private event. The hall includes full AV and Zoom capabilities, two large TVs, Wi-Fi, and an on-site kitchen.
When you support Generations Hall, you’ll feel good knowing that 100% of the proceeds benefit WesleyLife Meals on Wheels, providing much-needed meals and well-being checks to older adults and veterans. Tours of our Meals on Wheels campus, including our hydroponic farm, are also available for your group.
To book now, email us at: MOWGenerationsBookings@wesleylife.org
Venue Information
The space offers both round tables and board-style long tables. Four high-top tables are available for receptions. Local event planner White Willow is our recommended event planner for outside rentals or additional needs.
- For a seated luncheon at round tables, capacity is about 75.
- Theater-style events can seat around 120 comfortably.
Generations Hall can be rented Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. For availability or to inquire about days or times outside of normal rental hours, please call (515) 699-3240 or email MOWGenerationsBookings@wesleylife.org.
(Also, as part of your booking, please consider opportunities to connect with our mission by volunteering in our unique hydroponic farm or by delivering a Meals on Wheels route!)
Together, Generations can do great things.
