Senior Center Meals

Congregate meals, those meals served in the center, provide a hot nutritious lunch for at least 20 seniors per day in each center.  All 38 senior centers offer congregrate meals. Each meal provides one-third of the daily recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of nutrition requirements for seniors. Generally, seniors in our area receive meals several days a week rather than everyday. This allows a maximum number of persons the opportunity to receive a nutritious meal along with the socialization, education and recreation benefits the senior center offers.

These meals are available to persons age 60 or older or the spouse of an eligible person.
