Nutrition Programs for Seniors

Senior Dining Programs (also called "congregate dining") offer nutritious, low-cost noon meals in a group setting. The price of the meal ranges from a suggested donation of $2.25 to $3.00. To arrange a meal please call the individual site before noon two days ahead of the day you're planning to attend. In Washington County the following sites offer congregate dining Monday through Friday:
