Our Congregate Meal program is offered at three Satellite Senior Centers in Durham. The 
Congregate Meal Program is intended to promote social, emotional, and physical well-being in older adults age 60 years plus. We do this by providing a nutritional lunch 5 days a week as well as socialization activities. Currently, the Congregate Meal Program serves approximately 150 individuals daily.
In order to attend the Congregate Meal Program, each senior must be eligible for service. The requirements to attend our Congregate Meal Program are:
- A person must be 60 or older
- Complete a registration application
If you do not meet these requirements and need further assistance we do offer Special Eligibility for others. The Special Eligibility requirements are:
- Volunteers- any person who volunteers and is under the age of 60 who assists with the operation at Congregate Meal sites. Volunteers age 60 years and under must work 20 hours per quarter.
- Spouses- an underage spouse is eligible to attend the Congregate Meals Program if the older adult spouse meets the requirements for Congregate Meals.
"The meal at the Congregrate Meals Program gives us such a delight! They are warm and nutritious. It also helps keep your body healthy."
