Program Overview

Seniors and disabled individuals now have an opportunity to gather together and enjoy a healthy and nutritious meal through the Congregate Meals Program. With the goals of reducing senior isolation and promoting independence, this program provides thousands of meals to seniors and children in order to have an intergenerational “sit down” fellowship-style lunch at one of two locations: Edwards Neighborhood Service Center and Fannie Jackson Neighborhood Service Center.
