The mission of the Elderly Nutrition Program is to improve the well-being of older adults and help older adults remain independent and in their communities by providing nutritious meals and socialization.

To enroll in the meal program, call the location from which you would like to pick up. After application, a start date will be given. Must be 60+ to qualify. Suggested $2 donation.

The menu writing specifications and requirements are developed by the County of Los Angeles Area Agency on Aging. This helps facilitate the menu writing process annually and encourages agencies and caterers to meet the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) included in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 20202025. The menu is set for a six week cycle. The approved menu by the Los Angeles County dietitian assists us and our project dietitian in providing nutritious, appetizing, and high quality meals for our seniors.
