Contributions for your meals are requested. The suggested contribution for a daytime meal is $4.00 per meal for people over age 60 and their spouse of any age and a charge of $4.50 per meal for people under age 60. Individuals whose income is at or above 185 % of the Federal Poverty Guidelines are asked to contribute at an amount that represents the actual costs of the meals ($8.21 per meal). You are asked to contribute at this rate if your monthly household income is more than $2,248 and you live alone; or if you live in a household of 2 and your monthly income exceeds $3,040.  No one shall be denied a meal due to an inability or unwillingness to contribute.

•    Volunteer: Senior centers welcome volunteers to help with a variety of programs and operations. Volunteers accomplish many things at senior centers including facilitating classes, planning special events, answering the telephone, or helping with the meal service. Share yourself and your talents at a senior center! Contact your local senior center if you are interested in volunteering.
