Senior Nutrition Services provides older adults a nutritious meal, social engagement, and a wellness safety check. We offer more than just a meal; it is a celebration of togetherness. Our goal is to improve quality of life, reduce unnecessary stress, ER visits, hospitalizations and premature institutionalization through our nutrition programs.

We have two delivery programs, dependent upon location:

Frozen meals program which is delivered by our staff biweekly.
