Crater Districts' Congregate Meals Program are offered at local senior centers so that we can promote an atmosphere condusive to socialization and recreation.
The centers provide persons aged 60 or older with low-cost, nutritional meals in centers located in churches, community center, and senior centers. Group meals aim to promote better health among older persons by improving nutrition and allow the participants to increase social experiences and leisure-time activities.
Centers are open three to four days each week allowing participants the opportunity to socialize, receive a nutritious meal, and enjoy activities such as arts & crafts, guest lectures, and field and shopping trips. Transportation assistance may be arranged.
