Food is provided by Catholic Community Services through a grant from the Older Americans Act. The Older Americans Act sets the policy on cost of meals, eligibility, and menu guidelines. Eligible seniors are encouraged to pay up to the $3 per day for meals; however no senior will be denied a meal due to inability to pay.
In addition to these services, a Multi-Generational Center will be opening at the Beacon Activity Center, which will include cross over services and activities for seniors and young adults.
