Food Guide Consult the Food Guide Pyramid for Seniors for your guide to healthful eating! The Senior Nutrition Program provides nutritious meals at group dining sites and through home delivery to homebound persons sixty years of age and their spouses, as well as adult individuals with disabilities. There are congregate nutrition sites throughout the country. The menus are planned by Registered Dietitians to meet the US Dietary Reference Intakes and are low in fat, sodium and cholesterol.  Contact each individual location for a menu. This program is funded in part by the Older Americans' Act and by contributions from providers. Participants are also invited to make donations to the program. Suggested amounts are posted at each congregate site and through Meals on Wheels providers, listed below. Volunteer drivers for the Meals on Wheels program are needed and welcome. Drivers are an important link to homebound individuals, and the jobs they do are immensely gratifying.
