Senior Nutrition Program

The program provides a hot lunch meal at Senior Community Cafes located within Senior Centers throughout our service area Monday through Friday. Meals-on-Wheels delivery is available on a referral basis by the Visiting Nurse, Social Worker, Doctor office, Hospital, municipal agent, family, friends, and clients themselves. Meals are delivered to the home Monday through Friday with frozen meals provided for weekends. Some towns may vary on delivery days. Meals provided are nutritionally balanced and within the guidelines of a no-added-salt and no-added-sugar diet.

Seniors also gain access to other services offered through TVCCA such as Energy Assistance.
