Nutrition
Services
Good
nutrition is a key to good health!
|

|
 PURPOSE
In 1971, amendments
to the Older Americans Act adding “The Nutrition Program” recognized
the
importance of good nutrition in maintaining health and vitality as we
grow
older. There is significant research to support that an
optimal level
of nutrition can extend the life span and improve the quality of life.
The Senior Citizens
Council has been providing meals since 1972 in collaboration with other
local service organizations. In 1980, the Senior Citizen
Center was
built and became the primary site for meal preparation and delivery in
Sheridan County.
Today, the Meals
Program consists of mid-day meals served seven days a week,
365 days
a year. The Council has established meal sites in Sheridan,
Tongue
River Valley, Story, Big Horn, and
Clearmont/Arvada. In the
last year, nearly 120,000 meals were served throughout Sheridan County.
Our current menu for June & July and August & September are available as a PDF file which will
open
in a new window.
