Meal Program The meal program is designed so that no senior will be denied a meal because they cannot afford to pay a set cost. Your donations are important to keep our meal program funded. As always, thank you for your donations!

How do I reserve a meal? Meal reservations need to be made by 10:00 am two days before you want to eat a meal at the center. Special meals require reservations by 10:00 am 1 week prior to the meal date. These meals include Potato Bar, Cold Cut Subs, Hol-iday Meals, Parties. For your convenience, reservation dates for special meals are noted on the monthly menu.

How do I cancel a meal? Why is this necessary? If you need to cancel a meal, please contact the center or tell a staff person as soon as possible or by 10 am two days prior to your reservation (7 days for special meals). We understand there are emergencies & illness that may result in you not being able to cancel your meal. Failure to claim meals three times in one month will result in a meeting with center staff to discuss a possible solution.

Why do I need to pay for a meal if I don’t cancel at least 2 days ahead of time? Unsold meals due to late cancellations or no shows must be paid for out of the nutrition budget. Let’s all do our part to help to cut waste from our nutrition budget. You can help us keep our meal program going so we can provide meals all year.

and largest driver improvement course for drivers age 50 and older-offers
