A wide variety of nutritious meals are offered ranging from roast turkey to salmon, meatloaf sandwiches to vegetable Alfredo and shepherd’s pie to macaroni & cheese. All the meals are prepared with no added salt and meet 1/3 of the recommended daily intake for persons age 60 and older.

Is there a cost to participate? We suggest a $3.00 donation from guests age 60 and older. The fee for all guests under age 60 is $6.00. Donations and fees help to defray the agency’s cost. The donation is anonymous and voluntary; any amount you can contribute is appreciated. As always, no eligible senior will be denied service based on their income or their ability to make a donation. We thank you for your continued support and generosity!
