Meals & Nutrition
With funds from the Older Americans Act, Senior Solutions helps local partners provide meals to seniors. We’ll also help you apply for government-sponsored benefit programs.
Get Meals At Home
Meals on Wheels
If you are 60+ and are unable to shop or cook, our friendly volunteers bring nutritious food and social connection to your home.
Senior Solutions staffers can help sign you up for meal deliveries at home. If you or someone you know could use this benefit, call the Meal Intake Line at Senior Solutions today. 802-465-4293, or email us at info@seniorsolutionsvt.org.
Socialize With Friends
Community Meals
Join us in creating community for seniors! Eating meals together helps connect communities and strengthen bonds among participants. It provides seniors with meaningful, yet natural, interactions: food provides its own topic of conversation, making it easier to interact with others. Sharing meals regularly can also decrease feelings of loneliness and depression.
People under 60 pay a modest fee for meals. For people over 60, there is usually a suggested donation of $3-5 for these events, but no one in this age group is ever turned away for lack of ability to pay. If you wish to give a larger donation, it will gladly be accepted to support the meal program.
Food Programs
State and Federal Food Programs
