Title III C Nutrition Services

The Senior Meals Program provides persons 60 years and older nutritious meals served at several locations throughout Fresno and Madera counties, Monday through Friday. For those who are homebound due to illness or disability, and who lack family support, there is also a home-delivered meals program.

There are two home-delivered meals programs available for those who are eligible. Seniors may receive a single delivery once each week which includes seven light breakfasts, seven frozen entrees, bread, milk, and fruit, or a senior may receive a hot noon time meal delivered Monday through Friday only. Eligibility for the home-delivered program and for type of delivery (hot or frozen) will be based on geographic location and specific eligibility criteria.

There is a suggested contribution for the Senior Meals Program.

What is the cost for meals? Although the "suggested" senior contribution for the meals varies among the sites, it is usually $1.50 for dining center meals and $1.75 per day for home- delivered meals. Contributions for the meals are confidential and seniors will not be denied service due to an inability to pay the full suggested contribution.
