Senior Center and Meal Programs
Senior Centers provide an opportunity for seniors to come together as a group for services and activities that will enhance their dignity, support their independence and encourage their involvement in their community. Senior Centers offer a wide range of programs and activities for older adults, including meals, counseling, education, transportation and health screening.
Volunteers of America also offers nutritious meals to older adults at community dining sites, as well as home delivered meals and nutrition counseling. These programs intend to improve the dietary intakes of seniors and offer seniors an opportunity to form new friendships. These meals provide one-third of the daily recommended nutritional requirements.
