SMILE stands for Shared Moments In Living and Eating and this project hopes to do just that, bring seniors together to share moments in their daily lives with others and get a hot, great-tasting, nutritious home-cooked meal to boot!
Congregate Meals…two hot noon meals weekly are provided at a local senior center or nutrition site. In addition to the meal, participants have opportunities to socialize and receive information through educational programs.
Home-Delivered Meals…two hot noon meals weekly are delivered to a client’s home.
Nutrition Screening and Education are also provided as part of this service. Screening includes the assessment of an individual’s nutritional health for possible referral to a health care professional. Education is the informal opportunity for an individual to acquire knowledge about nutritional health and its benefits.
These services are provided directly by the Area Agency on Aging, through a system of project kitchens located in each county. Please check the County Specific page or a location near you.
