SENIORSPLUS

Nutrition: seniorsplus annually serves older adults a daily, nutritiously balanced meal through a group dining site or by home delivery within seniorsplus' three county service area. Of the meals served, one quarter are at dining sites opened up five times a week and operated by paid staff and volunteers. The remaining three-quarters of the meals are delivered to eligible individuals to their homes by paid staff and volunteers. Deliveries may be as often as five times a week or in some rural areas, once a week providing one hot meal and four frozen meals. Emergency meals are also provided in the event a delivery day can not be met due to inclement weather. All meals are provided in the kitchen facility with paid staff and volunteers and then distributed to various drop-off points for further delivery by the paid staff and volunteers. Each meal provides one- third of the required intake for older adults.
