Our Senior Meals Programs are vital to combating increasing food insecurity while promoting independence and the ability for seniors in Lane County to live in their own home. Most of our participants live on low, fixed incomes. Some can make a contribution for their meals, but others are unable to make even a minimal contribution. No one who is age eligible is ever denied a meal due to an inability to pay.

Café 60 and Meals on Wheels are only partially subsidized. The cost of food, labor, and transportation continues to increase at alarming rates, widening the gap between our operating costs and limited public funds. This program relies on community donations to fill these gaps and deliver this critical service to seniors in need.

We invite you to make a tax-deductible contribution to our Senior Meals Program to help ensure that nourishing meals can be served to our older neighbors who need them.
