Congregate Meals
Congregate meals are provided in a group setting. They often promote socialization among the participants. Meal sites can be in churches, schools, residential communities, senior centers, or recreational centers.

Home Delivered Meals
The Home Delivered Meals program provides at least one nutritionally sound meal per day to eligible adults who are homebound and who do not have friends or family to assist with meal preparation.

Nutrition Education
Nutrition Education promotes better health by providing culturally sensitive nutrition information (which may also address physical fitness and related health issues) and instruction to participants and/or care givers in group or individual setting.
