Senior Citizens Nutrition Program

Congregate Meals are served in the afternoon every weekday and are preceded by a variety of activities and programs for seniors. When needed, transportation is available on a limited basis to bring seniors into one of the sites. This service provides a way for older adults to enjoy fun, fellowship, and a delicious lunch in one place.

Meal Delivery

Drivers load meals into the van for delivery.

Home Delivered Meals are provided to senior citizens who are not able to leave their homes to go to a congregate site.  Program participants receive frozen meals once a week. Weekend meals are also delivered to those homebound determined to be frail and isolated.  

Supplemental Meals are nutritional supplements provided to senior citizens under the care of a physician.  With a doctor's approval, we can provide Ensure Plus to these eligible seniors on a monthly short term basis.
