Congragate Meal Sites: If you are hungry, if you cannot afford to eat adequately, if you have limited mobility and are unable to shop or cook for yourself, or if you are lonely and just want someone to share a meal with, then the Congregate Dining Program is available to you.
Congregate meals offer a healthy and convenient option for anyone over 60. In addition to the advantages of a healthy meal that requires no shopping, preparation or cleanup, every site offers social activities. Transportation to many meal sites is free. Seniors can actually improve their health by eating healthier foods, interacting with others and even getting a little exercise
Review the list of Congregate Meal Sites below for a location near you. Call the best location for you for more information and current meal times. Nutrition education is provided to participants, and donations are gratefully accepted.
