Community
Centers: provide an assortment of programs
and activities that meet community needs and promote community
involvement in recreation, cultural activities, education,
health and family life activities.
There
are two types of food delivery available, home-delivered
meals and congregate meals. Home-delivered meals are provided
by
Meals on Wheels and by the Area Agency on
Aging
Meals
on Wheels: deliver meals to the homes of the elderly and
people with disabilities who cannot shop
for
or
prepare
food for themselves and have no other reliable means
of obtaining their daily meals. Meals on Wheels also improve
the physical
and mental health of those served by providing them with
a balanced,
nutritious
and appealing diet, as well as providing the daily contact
of a caring volunteer.
There
are Area Agencies on Aging throughout the state,
which provide information, food,
community centers, legal resources, and etc. Congregate
meals are provided daily in group settings such
as senior centers. Participants in the congregate meal program
have the opportunity to socialize while enjoying nutritionally-balanced
meals. As part of the program, nutrition counseling and nutrition
education are also made available.
