Meal Services
Community Meal Sites and Home-Delivered Meals
There are twelve non-profit organizations that provide a hot, nutritious meals
daily, Monday - Friday, in over 100 community meal site locations throughout
the city. These meals are available to any senior who wishes to participate.
Donations are encouraged, however, no one is turned away because of an
inability to contribute.
These community meal site locations also offer seniors an opportunity to
socialize and participate in educational and cultural activities in their own
communities. Transportation to and from the community meal sites may also
be available at some locations.
The Home-Delivered Meals program delivers one hot, nutritious meal daily,
Monday - Friday, to participating homebound seniors who, because of
physical or mental disability, are unable to attend a community meal site.
All meals are designed to meet one-third of the Recommended Daily Dietary
Allowance Requirement as well as meet the varied tastes of the city's diverse
ethnic communities.
There are nutrition consultants available to provide nutrition counseling,
education and training.
Each of the fifteen Aging Service Areas has one agency
administering the nutrition program for that area, and numerous community
meal sites within that area to choose from.
