Eating Well

The Elderly Nutrition Program

Nutrition & Transportation

Let us help you find answers in locating one of the number of meal sites available across the Northwoods, or helping someone who is home-bound get signed up for a healthy, delivered meal if within the service area. For those in our more remote areas, we can assist in finding help as well with mail delivery services that accommodate your need.

The Elderly Nutrition Program

Is a program funded by Federal Older Americans Act Dollars, State grants and participant donations. The purpose of the Elderly Nutrition Program is to reduce hunger and food insecurity, to promote socialization and to encourage the health and well-being of older adults here in the Northwoods. There are no income requirements so everyone age 60 and older is welcome to participate.

Congregate Meals and Home Delivered Meals provide balanced, delicious, and nutricious meals to older adults to prevent malnutrition and promote good eating behaviors. Many older adults do not get adequate nutrition, which can impact health conditions and overall quality of life.

Congregate Meals: Meals served at dining sites throughout Forest and Taylor Counties open to anyone age 60 or older and their spouse.
