“We go to the Café for the good food and value. Without this program, we would sit at home and be lonely. We feel better when we step out of our house and socialize. It's something we look forward to.”
~ Linda, a Café regular

 

THE CaféS

Join us for lunch! Enjoy a healthy, delicious lunch and socialize with friends at the Cafés. We serve lunch Monday through Friday. Reservations are required. The Cafés are hosted by senior centers and recreational facilities. Along with lunch, you’ll usually find things to do such as bridge, yoga, crafts, or bingo.

 

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?

Lunch is nutritious, well-balanced, and contains no added salt. A typical lunch is made up of an entrée (beef, chicken, pork, fish, or pasta), salad, and dessert. Milk or juice is available to drink. We put together a new menu each month. Menus are available at each Café.

 

How much does lunch cost?

Lunch is provided to seniors (60 years and older) free of charge. A suggested donation of $3.00 a meal is appreciated, but not required. No one will be turned away for their inability to provide a donation. Guests under 60 are also welcome and will be charged $6.00 a person.

 

How do I make a reservation?

To reserve your spot, please call your local Café by 11:30am the day before you want to come for lunch.
