Congregate Dining consists of eight dining centers located throughout Volusia County, which serves a hot, nutritious noon-time meal for seniors who are able to dine in a group setting. Consumers must be at least 60 years of age and must have a need for improved nutrition and socialization. Many of the seniors we serve live alone, have limited ability to cook, or lack the incentive to prepare nourishing meals. Last year, over 80,000 meals were served at the dining sites.
While nutrition is the primary goal of the program, seniors also benefit from social and recreational opportunities at each site. Activities include, but are not limited to, bingo, cards and games, music programs, exercise and educational speakers. No set fees are charged; however, each consumer is provided the opportunity to make a donation.

Meals on Wheels are provided to homebound seniors over the age of 60. The meals are from a varied menu and provide one third of the daily nutritional requirements, with no added salt, butter, seasons or sugar. A hot meal is delivered by volunteers Monday through Friday between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Frozen meals for weekend consumption can be provided based on individual need.This program has no set fee, but graciously accepts donations.
Arrangements can be made for a hot meal to be delivered Monday through Friday, around the noon hour to anyone over the age of 18. Delivery is directly to the client's residence, and the menu changes daily. This program requires a modest co-pay.
