A registered dietician plans the meals <br />to assure 100% of the U. S. Nutritional Recommended Daily Allowance - consisting of breakfast, a <br />cold lunch, and a frozen dinner. In addition to meals, clients benefit from daily contact with <br />delivery staff as well as the calls and/or visits from case workers who regularly check on their well- <br />being. <br />The Senior Lunch Program will be offered at three sites in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Senior Center, <br />Southwest Senior Center, and Vietnamese Community Center) to help alleviate poor nutrition <br />among the elderly population, especially prevalent among those who live alone and /or on a limited <br />income. This nutrition program seeks to enhance the physical and mental well -being of the elderly <br />population by: <br />• Encouraging a sense of dignity; <br />• Providing stimulating activities and volunteer opportunities; and <br />• Augmenting participants' financial resources by providing donation -based meals. <br />2513-1 <br />
