Senior Lunch Program

Services

Our Senior Lunch Program is offered at 27 sites throughout central and north Orange County helps to alleviate poor nutrition among the vulnerable elderly population, especially prevalent among those who live alone and/or on limited incomes. This nutrition program seeks to enhance the physical and mental well-being of the elderly population by: 

• Encouraging a sense of dignity
• Providing stimulating activities and volunteer opportunities
• Augmenting participants' financial resources by providing donation-based meals.

Meals are planned and certified by a dietician to meet one third of each person's daily nutritional needs, based on FDA guidelines.

Benefits of Participating in Senior Center Activities

Older adults who participate in activities such as exercise classes, dancing, card games, lectures and discussion groups at their local senior center enhance their physical and mental well-being. They can be linked to services and activities available in their community. Participation in senior center activities alleviates loneliness, depression and anxiety that are common for elders facing multiple problems. Senior center participants can also enjoy a nutritious meal for lunch around which socialization and recreation happen naturally.

The Senior Lunch Program is open to all older adults age 60+. The suggested donation for lunch is $2.50.
