The <br />Meals on Wheels program prepares and delivers three meals daily directly to the homes of <br />homebound, frail, and socially isolated seniors in the City. A registered dietician plans the meals <br />to assure 100°/% of the U. S. Nutritional Recommended Daily Allowance - consisting of breakfast, <br />a 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 <br />well-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 <br />limited income. This nutrition program seeks to enhance the physical and mental well-being of <br />the elderly 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 />25F-1 <br />
