As a program of the Area Agency on Aging, the Senior Nutrition Program aims to enrich the lives of older adults by providing nutritious meals and services that promote dignity, well-being, and independence. Meals are prepared fresh daily by local caterers and are designed to provide 1/3 recommended dietary allowance for older adults.
