In addition to our other services we also provide nutrition to the seniors of Raleigh County. Our meals are designed by a nutritionist to be balanced in nutritional value and provide our program participants with the proper nutrients to maintain a balanced diet. Not only that, but they taste good, too! With the ongoing concerns of adequate and proper nutrition for people as they age we are continuously striving to improve our nutrition services to the seniors of our county.
Meals are provided through two programs; the Congregate Meal program and the Home Delivered Meals program. The Congregate Meal program serves meals daily or weekly at locations where participants will congregate for the meal. The Home Delivered Meals program serves seniors who are unable to attend a congregate site and who cannot prepare a nutritional meal for themselves. Please follow the links below for more information about these programs.
Nutrition Program
If you’re looking for somewhere good to eat…
Our meal program is a central part of the activities that take place in our primary senior center and our three satellite centers. Providing an eligible person one hot or other appropriate meal is just one of the many services that our seniors enjoy. Many of our seniors and participants plan activities at our centers that take place before and after the meal. Many others simply like to meet their friends and enjoy the opportunity to socialize.
- We provide a nutritious meal on a daily basis Monday through Friday at the Raleigh County Senior Center from 11:30 Until 12:30. This meal is 1/3 of the daily recommended dietary intake. All menus are prepared by a registered dietician.
- We provide meals at three additional sites as follows:
Tuesdays Only At:
Coal City (Old Stoco High School) from 11-12Monday through Friday:
