Congregate Sites

Congregate Dining Centers:
Individuals over the age of 60 may reserve a meal at one of the dining centers. Noon meals are served Monday through Friday at dining centers throughout Shawnee, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties. In addition to a well-balanced and nutritious meal, individuals will receive nutrition education and may enjoy the opportunity to socialize and make new friends as well as participate in other activities.

Donations are encouraged and much appreciated; however, there is no established fee. Donations may be made using cash, check, or Vision Card.

Eligibility:

  • Person 60 years of age or older and their spouse of that person regardless of his or her age;
  • Individuals less than 60 years of age who provide volunteer services during meal hours, as long as his or her meal will not deprive an eligible participant of a meal;

Target Population:
Nutrition services are targeted to people 60 years of age or older in greatest social and economic need, particularly low-income minorities. An additional target criterion of the home delivered meals program is that program resources are targeted to those most in need of meals and at greatest nutritional risk.
