Congregate Nutrition, that is, meals served in a group setting, such as a senior center or church, is funded under the Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) to help older adults stay in their homes. The meal (typically lunch) must meet 1/3 of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for nutrition.
Services are available through HCCBG providers in counties, such as county departments of aging and social services and private nonprofit councils on aging. The service benefits adults age 60 and over, with an emphasis on minorities and socially and economically needy seniors.
