Do you serve Meals on Wheels or lunches? How can I participate?
Lunch is available at the Senior Center, Monday through Friday, except for holidays. Anyone age 60+ and their spouse can participate by signing up at least 24 hours in advance. There is a suggested donation of $2 for a meal. Meals on Wheels are delivered to those individuals who are eligible and unable to access the nutrition program at the Senior Center.
