The Elderly Nutrition Program oversees congregate meals provided at community centers (sites where elderly can meet and share a meal that is designed to meet 1/3 of the RDAs for the elderly), and also the Meals on Wheels program, which delivers a meal to a person's home once a day. All persons 60 years of age or older are eligible for these programs regardless of their income, although priority is given to those who are economically in need.

TRUE ! Meals On Wheels is based on need : social, health, economic. The goal is for independent living for senior population. There are eligibility requirements. View them at :

Congregate meals at senior centers are the same.
The federal government subsidizes the meal programs for seniors, but there are state/county/civic requirements (some economic) that have to be met. Good luck !

true, however did you know that the people in the meals on wheels are actually people that have gone to court and have been sentenced to community service. How would you like these criminals coming to you grandmothers door.
