Congregate Meal Sites

The Congregate Nutrition Program (Title IIIC-1) addresses dietary inadequacy and social isolation among individuals aged 60 and older. The Program provides nutrition education, nutrition risk screening and, in some Planning and Service Areas, nutrition counseling. The program targets older individuals with the greatest economic or social need, with particular attention given to low-income minority older individuals and older individuals living in rural areas. The program encourages the use of volunteers and gives all participants the opportunity to contribute to the meal cost.

DUE TO COVID-19, THE FOLLOWING CONGREGATE SITES ARE TEMPORARY CLOSED:
Ocotillo - Westmorland - West Shores. 
​FOR MEAL DELIVERY PLEASE CALL (760) 353-6822
