  Senior Nutrition Services      

The Senior Nutrition Program supports good nutritional health and promotes the independence and well-being of older adults through two meal programs:

Home Delivered Meals
Hot lunches and daily social contact with the delivery person help older adults who cannot leave their home or prepare their own meals. Evening meals and liquid supplements can also be provided to seniors who are at nutritional risk.

Meals in Community Settings
Noontime meals are served in community and senior centers and senior housing facilities. A $2.50 donation is suggested.

The program is open to county residents who are age 60 or older regardless of their income.  Donations are accepted and all are asked to share in the cost of the meals if they can. However, no one is denied services if they cannot afford to pay.
