Nutrition Education Handouts

General Information
Senior Dining Brochure

The ADRC of Northwest Wisconsin offers meals in Polk County and Burnett County. Congregate dining and home delivered meals are available in both counties.

Senior dining provides elderly (aged 60 and over) with access to affordable, nutritious, hot meals. The meals meet one-third of the recommended dietary allowances and include meat or other protein, two servings of vegetables or fruit, bread, butter or margarine, dessert, and milk.

Financial status of the person dining has no bearing on eligibility. There is no set fee for meals. Voluntary donations toward the cost of meals are appreciated and help to keep the program running. Senior dining is paid for by funding from the federal, state and local governments, along with contributions from participants.

Each meal costs about $8.95 to prepare. If someone cannot afford to make a donation, they are still welcome to receive meals. People who qualify for meals will not be refused service due to inability to pay.

Please contact your local meal site to make your reservation. 24 hour notice required. Please leave a message at the site if staff is not available to answer the phone.
