Nutritious, low cost lunches are available to older individuals (aged 60 and older) through two services: Congregate Dining and Meals on Wheels.

Congregate Dining: Sites are located in all nine districts, providing lunches along with a variety of activities that may include fitness classes, nutrition education, guest speakers, outings, and recreational activities.

Meals on Wheels: Modified lunches (lower in sodium and sugars) are delivered to the homes of older individuals who are homebound due to illness or injury.
