InterServ Senior Nutrition Programs
InterServ’s Senior Meals Sites are places where seniors age 60 and over can come to eat a hot lunch, make new friends and socialize with people their own age.
In addition to a healthy lunch, there are many opportunities to socialize and enjoy activities with friends. There is something for everyone–Indoor walking, bingo, card games, exercise, movies and special parties. And, local home healthcare agencies present monthly health screenings and informational workshops to help seniors maintain good health in the later years of life.
Faith in Action
Faith in Action is an organization that works to keep the seniors and the disabled in our community as independent as possible. We work with those in our community that often fall through the cracks. Our clients are those in the community that have no family close by to help them and may not qualify to get help from the state.
