PLEASE NOTE: We are accepting referrals for our Home Delivered Meals Program, however there may be a waiting list, depending on the route in your area.
Our Senior Nutrition Program delivers low cost, hot and nutritionally sound weekday meals to those Cayuga County residents who cannot come to the meal sites. This service helps the older adults of Cayuga County to stay in their own homes.
Meals are nutritionally balanced and meet 1/3 of the dietary reference intake (DRI). Lactose intolerant diets can be accommodated upon request. This program promotes better health through improved nutrition.
Registration
For information on the program and to register, call the Office for the Aging Senior Nutrition Program at 315-253-1550. An in-home assessment by one of our staff is required for all home delivered meal recipients to determine eligibility. Recipients must need assistance in 1 or more Activities of Daily Living and be 60 years of age or older to qualify.
Meal Contributions
Meal recipients are asked to make a contribution to help defray the costs of the meals. Contributions are important to us as they allow this needed service to continue. For those persons of 60 years or older, there is a suggested contribution of $3.50 for each meal, but no one is denied a meal because of their inability to contribute. Home delivered meal recipients are able to send contributions monthly. We accept CASH, SNAP, CHECK, or CREDIT
