Age-Friendly Resources and Services: 

 Serving Seniors

Serving Seniors provides over 1.4 million nutritious meals a year. Designed in partnership with a Registered Dietician, their meals provide one-third of their clients’ nutrition requirements and accommodate a wide variety of dietary needs including low-sodium and low-fat diets. 

Regardless of income, seniors eat for free.

Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels operates in virtually every community in America through our network of more than 5,000 independently-run local programs. While the diversity of each program's services and operations may vary based on the needs and resources of their communities, they are all committed to supporting their senior neighbors to live healthier and more nourished lives in their own homes.

 AIS

The County's Aging & Independence Services contracts with community partners to administer the Older Californians Nutrition Program, offering meals at various locations throughout the County. Nutrition sites offer sit down "congregate" meal services, some provide to-go meals, and some provide home-delivered meals. Meals offered in this program are nutritionally balanced and follow the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans dietary pattern for healthy eating. 

Meal service information (lunch hours, to-go meal availability, zip codes serviced, etc.) differs for each provider. 

Contact your nearest site for information. Click the link to review the List of Congregate Dining Site. 

 AIS

The County's Aging & Independence Services department contracts with community partners to provide home-delivered hot lunches, for eligible adults. Adults 60 and older who are homebound due to illness or disability can ask to have meals delivered to them if they are registered with a County of San Diego nutrition provider that offers this service. Once a request for a home-delivered meal is made, a representative from the nutrition program will visit the older adult to assess the need. If appropriate for the program, a hot meal is delivered each week day and frozen meals are provided for the weekends. 

Contact your nearest home-delivered meal provider to inquire about eligibility. Click the List of Meal Providers.
