Nutrition Options

The Southeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging manages the

60+ Nutrition Program for nine SEK counties. We provide nutritious meals to individuals 60+ years of age. The meals can be provided in home (for those who qualify) or at designated sites in the community. A suggested donation of $2 per meal is requested, but inability to pay does not prevent anyone from receiving a meal.

​

Nutritious meals provided, plus:

​

A Friendly Face - The participants enjoy contact with volunteers and staff. Volunteers and staff really enjoy the friendships that develop.

Peace of Mind - Children, family members and friends know that someone is checking on their loved ones. For some participants, our volunteers and staff may be the only contact they have that day.

Sense of Independence - Having meals brought to a participant's home allows him or her to live independently in their own community.

Funding

 

• Kansas Dept. of Aging and Disability (Federal Funding) 49%

• State of Kansas 25%

• County 5%

• Donation 21% (approx. $1.41 per meal)

Current donations are not meeting the required need. Meals are provided regardless of an individual's ability to pay. Raising funds is crucial to this program. Please consider supporting this
needed service.
