Senior Nutrition Program
The Senior Nutrition Program provides hot, nutritious meals to citizens 60 years of age or older and their spouse, regardless of age. Program service settings include congregate and home delivered meals, depending upon the individuals need.

While the main goal of the nutrition program is to feed seniors, the program provides elderly residents with much more than just meals. Congregate meal sites give participating seniors the opportunity to socialize with others, while the Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to the frail, sick and homebound seniors. For many congregate and home delivered meal clients, the nutrition program not only provides a meal but also friends.

Congregate Meals
Congregate meal sites are open to anyone 60 years of age or older and his or her spouse, regardless of age. Anyone under 60 who volunteers a minimum of two hours during site hours is eligible. Anyone with disabilities that resides at home with and accompanies an older (60+) person is eligible.

Reservations should be made by calling a site the day before one wishes to have lunch.

Congregate meal sites are located throughout Washington and Morgan Counties.
