Congregate Meal Sites

Congregate meal sites provide hot, nutritionally balanced meals to the elderly or disabled adults in a group setting such as senior centers, housing sites and churches who may otherwise not eat properly as well as socialization experiences. Congregate meals are often combined with recreational, educational and social activities. These are usually federally-funded programs and meals are provided to older adults regardless of ability to pay but donations are often encouraged. Please call the meal site for details on meal times and call for reservations 24 hours in advance.
