Congregate Nutrition
Helps to keep older individuals healthy and prevent the need for more costly medical interventions. In addition to servicing healthy meals, the program presents opportunities for social engagement, information on healthy aging and meaningful volunteer roles, all of which contribute to an older individual’s overall health and well-being.
The congregate setting is designed to provide a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere where people aged 60 and older (and other eligible persons) can gather for a meal. The balanced meal and the social contact together provide positive motivation for self-care. The nutrition program is more than just a meal – its purpose is to nourish the whole person.
Home-Delivered Nutrition
Nutrition services for older individuals who are homebound. Home-delivered meals are often the first in-home service that an older adult receives, and the program is a primary access point for other home and community-based services. The home-delivered nutrition program serves frail, homebound, or isolated individuals who are age 60 or over and, in some cases, their caregivers, spouses, and/or persons with disabilities. This program provides much more than food; it provides a wholesome meal plus a safety check, and sometimes the only opportunity for face-to-face contact or conversation for that day.
Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program
The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program is designed to improve the nutritional status and overall health of low-income seniors by providing them with fresh fruits and vegetables from farmers markets. Educational information about the benefits, selection, storage, and preparation of fresh foods is also provided to participants
