Senior Nutrition Program

The Senior Nutrition Program is designed to provide nutritious noon meals to the senior population in Mason and Thurston counties.  While being served in a social setting, these meals are intended to maintain and improve overall health.  The recommended donation for those over 60 years of age is $2.50, for those under age 60 the cost of the meal is $5.44.

To assist with healthier meal choices to seniors with dietary restrictions a registered dietician is available for nutritional counseling.

People who are confined to their homes and are over 60 years of age may be eligible for home delivered meals.  Up to one meal per day may be provided - either fresh or frozen depending on locale and distance from the serving site. Those who qualify may help support the program by voluntary donations.  The recommended amount is $2.50 per meal.  People who do not qualify may still receive home delivered meals by paying the full price-at present $5.76 per meal.

Additional support comes from the Federal Older Americans' Act, Lewis- Mason-Thurston Area Agency on Aging, and Senior Services for South Sound.
