Meal Service in Senior Centers

The Gallatin County Nutrition program includes four sites:

Bozeman, Manhattan, Three Forks and West Yellowstone. The meals-on-wheels and congregate meal programs at all sites provide excellent opportunities for seniors in our county to remain social while enjoying a nutritious meal. Both components are equally as important in keeping our seniors healthy and active while preventing loneliness and isolation. All of our sites have outstanding and dedicated kitchen staff who go above and beyond to prepare nutritious meals for seniors in our communities. The goal of the Gallatin County Nutrition Program is to keep older citizens independent and in their homes as long as safely possible.

Eligibility:

The nutrition program is available to all seniors over 60 who are in need, but we especially target older clients (over the age of 80), the low income, the frail, and the lonely depressed individual trying to remain independent in their own home or apartment. Seniors may come to the senior center and enjoy a nutritious meal in a comfortable social setting with other seniors. Those who are homebound may enjoy meals-onwheels delivered by wonderful volunteers each day. It is also our goal to keep all our programs and services as affordable as possible.

Our suggested donation is $4.00/ meal for those 60 and older. No one is turned away for inability to pay.

If you are 60 or older, you may pay whatever you can afford. Individuals under 60 are also welcome and encouraged to eat at our sites, however the cost is $6.00/meal and is not a suggested donation.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to COVID-19, our senior center sites will not be open to the public until Phase III of the Governor’s Reopen Montana Plan. However, we are still delivering meal-on-wheels daily and providing grab and go meals at each site. Please call any of our sites for more information on operations or to get assistance on how we can help you.
