Nutrition Program

Council on AgingNutrition Program

Our Nutrition Programs are designed to support the health and well-being of individuals aged 60 and older. Both programs are designed to be accessible to all seniors, regardless of income. The suggested $2 donation per meal helps us continue to provide these essential services while ensuring affordability for those who need it most. Choose the option that fits your needs, and let us provide you with a nutritious and convenient meal solution. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a meal with friends or need the convenience of meal delivery, we have options:

Congregate Lunch

Join us for a nutritious and delicious lunch in a friendly, social setting. Our community dining rooms are conveniently located in senior centers, elder housing, and other community spaces. These lunches provide not only a healthy meal but also an opportunity to connect with peers and participate in additional activities and programs.

Details:

  • Open to individuals aged 60 or older and their spouses.
  • Reservations are required by 10 A.M. on the weekday before you plan to dine.
  • A voluntary $2 donation per meal is suggested to help offset costs.

  • Meals are delivered daily between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M., excluding holidays.
  • Special dietary options are available, including cardiac-friendly, chopped, and puréed meals.
  • Deliveries may be canceled due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, so we recommend keeping extra food on hand.
