Senior Nutrition
With partial funding from Western Illinois Area Agency on Aging and United Way of Greater Warren County, we provide a Senior Nutrition program in Henderson, Mercer, and Warren Counties for people 60 and older.
People 60+ with limited mobility may be eligible to receive home delivered meals on a temporary or indefinite basis. Call 309-734-4251 for details. Service typically begins the next week.
​
People 60+ are welcomed to join us at our open congregate sites. If you are over 60, live in Henderson, Mercer, or Warren County and need a reliable source of nutritional food, call our office at 309-734-4251.
We serve more than 55,000 meals each year to area seniors. For information on the impact of nutrition for older adults, we invite you to read The Facts Behind Senior Hunger from the National Council on Aging Care.
