People less than 60 years old may eat at the center for the cost of the meal. It is a year round program with no income guidelines or any restrictions besides the age limit. Meals are served on site, carryouts are welcomed, or on a home-delivered basis when the senior is homebound. Educational, informational, and social activities are available in addition to nutrition. This program is partially funded by the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA), the Southeastern IL Agency on Aging (AOA), and through participant contributions. The program operates congregate and home delivered meal sites in Crawford, Jasper and Richland counties.
