A registered dietician plans the meals to assure 100% of the U. S. Nutritional Recommended Daily Allowance - consisting of breakfast, a cold lunch, and a frozen dinner. In addition to meals, clients benefit from daily contact with delivery staff as well as the calls and/or visits from caseworkers who regularly check on their well-being. The Senior Lunch Program helps alleviate poor nutrition among the elderly population, especially prevalent among those who live alone and/or on a limited income. This nutrition program is available at two sites in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Senior Center and Southwest Senior Center) seeks to enhance the physical and mental well-being of the elderly population by: • Encouraging a sense of dignity; • Providing stimulating activities and volunteer opportunities; and • Augmenting participants' financial resources by providing donation -based meals. 25A-1
