Interested in having lunch at your local Senior Center?

All that is required:

1. Call the day before to reserve your meal;

2. Arrive a few minutes early to register for the program;

3. If plans change, call before 9:00 a.m. to cancel your reservation;

For seniors 60 years of age and above, there is no charge for the meal. If you would like to make a donation to the program, which enables more seniors to have a meal, you may do so but is not required.

The Congregate Meal Program was established in 1972 under the Older American's Act and is administered by the Upper Cumberland Area Agency on Aging and Disability in partnership with the Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency and local Senior Citizen Centers.
