as well as enjoying a nutritious meal.
Noon time meals are

regardless of age) at Senior Meal Sites throughout the Northeast
Kingdom.

Home Delivered Senior Meals
Home delivered meals are
available to those who are unable to reach a Meal Site because of
illness or frailty. These meals are delivered by volunteers who
generously donate their time. If you are interested in volunteering as
a home delivered meals driver, please call the Senior HelpLine.

There is no charge for
senior meals. However, there is a donation policy that allows seniors
to contribute toward the cost of the meals.
