From the Horizon:
Do you or a loved one need help getting and preparing meals?
For any number of reasons from financial to physical limitations, many seniors and people with disabilities face challenges to eating regular, healthy meals every day. All programs are subject to enrollment and participation requirements.
Dine Dollars/Meal Vouchers
We offer a meal program for active older adults at participating hospital cafeterias and restaurants. With CICOA Dine Dollars, seniors have more options and flexibility in dining choices. For a suggested contribution of $3 each, individuals age 60 and over can receive a reusable meal card that can be redeemed for up to eight meals per month for breakfast, lunch or dinner at Major Hospital or Grandma’s Pancake House. Enrollment is required.
Enjoy lunch with friends at Shelby Senior Services.
Lunch is served Monday through Friday at Shelby Senior Services, review the monthly Horizon Newsletter for menu. Voluntary contributions toward the cost of the meal service are accepted, appreciated and help us to serve more meals to neighbors in need! Enrollment and reservations are required.
Produce for Better Health
The Produce for Better Health (PBH) Program, grant-funded by Anthem BCBS, provides two boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables per month. Each box contains 14 pounds of produce with three fruits and three vegetables. Participants must report their weight and blood pressure monthly, fill out a separate application, complete quarterly satisfaction surveys, and participate in the lunch program at the senior center to remain enrolled.
In addition to these services, Shelby Senior Services offers food pantry delivery 2 times per month to seniors who are confined to their home within Shelby County. We are solely donation based and are currently in need of beans and peanut butter. Your generous donations are tax deductible and help us to meet the nutritional needs of our beloved seniors.
