| | Welcome to the Senior Nutrition Program of Glenn.
We provide nutritious noon meals for seniors 60 years of age and older.
Our mission is to enable seniors to maintain maximum health, independence and dignity by providing nutritious meals in group and home settings with access to supportive services. | |
|
| | For eligible older persons, the Senior Nutrition Program provides a nutritious meal delivered to the home. A formal needs assessment is required for participation in the home-delivered meals program.
To be eligible for home-delivered meals, the senior citizen must be:
- Age 60 or more
- Homebound due to illness, incapacity or disability, or be otherwise isolated
- Determined to be in need of service within the policies set by the Area Agency on Aging and the nutrition service provider
| |
|
| | For those seniors who are able to come to a Nutrition Site, we offer a Congregate Meals Program, which provides low-cost, hot, nutritious noon meals in a group setting.
Persons age 60 and over are eligible to participate, and underage spouses may participate as well. Recreational and social activities are included at the sites (see below).
A donation of $2.50 or more is requested but is not mandatory, and the guest fee is $4.50.
Please RSVP to the Nutrition Site where you plan to take your meal. If you cannot make it, please cancel your reservation if possible.
Transportation services are available. Please call nutrition sites for more information. | |

| | 30 years of Service
Since 1978, the Glenn County Office of Education has administered a Senior Nutrition Program for Glenn County senior citizens 60 years and older, under Title 3C of the Older Americans Act.
The Senior Nutrition Program is a “lifeline” that provides a vital link to more than 140 seniors in this remote rural area of Northern California.
Central Kitchen
Both congregate and home-delivered meals are prepared at a central kitchen in Orland.
The implementation of a central kitchen operation in July 1988 and the continued refining of food preparation and delivery have resulted in more cost-effective meals for the program, allowing expansion of nutrition services to more seniors. | |
