For Seniors

Prepared meals because of illness or disability, see meal delivery resources.

If you don’t have a safe way to get food from the supermarket, see grocery delivery resources.

If you cannot pay for all of your food or need someone to deliver food to your home, see food assistance providers who can deliver.

Senior Nutrition Program invites seniors to gather and enjoy their choice of a hot, cold, or vegetarian meal with themed options throughout the month. To find your closest center, reserve your lunch spot, or request transportation, please visit the Congregate Meal Program web page.

Seniors 60 years and older will receive lunch free of charge, although a donation is always welcome. For those under age 60, the full price of the meal is required. Please always register in advance! For more information, call the Senior Programs office at 240-777-4925 or contact the center nearest you.
