SENIOR CITIZENS NUTRITION/RECREATION

Partially funded by a grant from AAAL, Older Americans Act, Illinois Department of Aging

The Senior Citizens Programs provide services to area senior citizens, 60 years of age and over. Nutrition centers prepare and serve meals to senior citizens who are unable to attend one of the meal sites. The meals are designed to provide at least 1/3 of the recommended daily nutritional needs of senior citizens.

Home Delivered Meals: Seniors can call ahead to make arrangements for our Home Delivered Meals Program. This program delivers meals to those who are unable to attend one of the meal sites. Must be 60 years of age and homebound to qualify.

Meals are provided at a suggested donation rate.  Additional activities at the meal site are designed to help keep the seniors active and involved. These activities may include recreational, informational, and health related topics.

The goal of the Senior Program is to keep area senior citizens active and in their own homes as long as possible. The reduction of institutional dependency is achieved through services and activities that promote good health and social interaction.

Suggested donation for seniors 60 and over is $4.25. Price for meals for all other ages is $7.
