The program offers two options for seniors to receive well a balanced and tasty meal.  Meals are served in a pleasant social setting at one of our 11 congregate meal sites.  Meals can be delivered to the homes of seniors not able to prepare their own meal or travel to one of the meal sites.

Meals are available to those who are age 60 or older, confined to their homes and unable to prepare a meal.  Spouses are automatically included regardless of age.
