Good nutrition is critical to health, functioning, and quality of life. It plays an essential role in the prevention or management of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

Senior Services of Snohomish County Nutrition Program provides congregate meals to help improve the dietary intake of participants and offer opportunities to form new friendships. Congregate meals are provided Monday - Friday at 12:00 in our cafeteria.  Suggested meal donation for members is $2.50, and $5.75 for non-members.  2%, fat-free, or buttermilk and fortified margarine are available with all meals.  All fresh produce on the menu is subject to availability.  Substitutions may be made without notice.

Meals served under the program provide at least one-third of the daily recommended dietary allowances established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences – National Research Council. All menus are planned and approved by a Registered Dietitian. For most participants, these meals provide 40 to 50 percent of most required nutrients (Ponza M, Ohls JC, Millen BE. Serving Elders at Risk: The Older Americans Act Nutrition Programs, National Evaluation of the Elderly Nutrition Program, 1993-1995. Washington, DC: Mathematica Policy Research; 1996.).

The Nutrition Program also provides nutrition screening, assessment, education and counseling. These services help older participants identify their general and special nutrition needs, as they may relate to health concerns such as hypertension and diabetes. The congregate meal program gives older people positive social contacts with other seniors at the group meal sites.
