Nourishing Connections through Senior Dining

Our Senior Dining Program offers more than just nutritious meals at our community dining sites and/or local restaurants. It’s an opportunity for older adults to connect, share stories, and build friendships while enjoying a meal at community dining sites and/or local restaurants. Whether you’re looking for a healthy lunch or a lively community, our program is here to make your dining experiences more enjoyable and meaningful. Come with a friend or make new friends.

 

Senior Dining Offers
  • Delicious, nutritious meals
  • Social opportunities
  • Connections with trusted and caring people
  • Helpful health information and education
How it Works

Registered adults aged 60+ and their spouses of any age are eligible to receive a discounted meal. Registration is required annually.

Good Food at an Affordable Price

To help offset costs, we ask for a suggested contribution of $5.00 for each meal. No one is denied service because of the inability to pay. Friends and family members are always welcome. Unregistered guests under 60 years of age pay the full price that is posted.

Dine-in or Take-out Service Options

Local restaurants offer meals for adults aged 60+ throughout the day or over the lunch hour with no reservations required. Some dining locations may offer takeout for an additional fee. This is not a contracted rate with AEOA and the payment of that amount is the responsibility of the meal recipient.
