Congregate Meals Program

The MBSCC Congregate Meal Program provides hot, nutritious meals in accessible group settings, fostering both physical health and social connection for older adults. Meals are served at senior centers, churches, schools, senior housing facilities, and other community spaces, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity.

Our meals are carefully designed to meet USDA dietary guidelines and reflect the diverse cultures of the Bronx community. We also accommodate common dietary restrictions, offering options such as gluten-free or diabetic-friendly meals. For seniors requiring transportation, we help ensure they don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal and connect with others.

Beyond nourishing food, our congregate meal sites provide services that promote overall well-being, including:

Falls prevention education to reduce risks and maintain mobility.

Chronic disease management information to empower participants in their health journey.

Wellness checks to support ongoing health and safety.

Through this program, MBSCC creates a welcoming environment where seniors can enjoy good food, make meaningful connections, and access valuable resources for healthier living.
