This nutrition <br />program seeks to enhance the physical and mental well-being of 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 />25E-1 <br />
