Senior Nutrition Program serving Monroe and Randolph Counties
¨ Serves persons over the age of 60 and their spouses, regardless of age. Income does not matter.
¨ Serves a hot meal containing one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), including diabetic diets, five days a week except holidays. A donation is suggested to help supplement the budget for each service year. These donations are placed in an unmarked envelope. Individuals donate what they feel they can afford, however, no one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Food stamps may be used for the donation.
¨ Provides home delivered meals when necessary, to meet the need of ill and homebound eligible individuals.
¨ Provides nutrition education about the kinds and amounts of foods that are required to meet the daily nutritional need and makes them aware of the nutritional value of the different food groups.
¨ Provides outreach service, an activity designed to seek out and identify, on an on-going basis, the maximum number of hard to reach, isolated and withdrawn individuals throughout the two county area in the greatest need of nutrition and supportive services, and to provide them the opportunity to participate in the program.
