Daily Congregate Meals
For adults who enjoy sharing meal time, we offer a congregate meal at the center daily. The meals are prepared by qualified culinary professionals. Lunches are served daily 11:30 am. If seniors do not make a reservation, and they wish to have a lunch, they can go on stand-by. Meals will be provided for stand-by seniors based on supply of extra meals.
Reservation Phone Line (call the business day before to reserve).
Meals on Wheels
For our adults in the community that can no longer get out, live alone, are unable to prepare meals for various reasons including temporary such as recovering from a surgery, we offer home bound meals. The Meals on Wheels program provides a nutritious hot meal daily (Monday through Friday) to homebound seniors. Meals can be delivered on a continuous basis or temporarily.
Educational Seminars
The Friendship Center works closely with surrounding businesses, organizations, and individuals that specialize in services relating to the older adult. Informational or educational seminars focusing on topics such as: Medicare Part "D", managing diabetes, and a variety of special interest topics, helps to keep older adults up to date on ever changing issues.
Information & Referral
The Center is the link between many programs offered through different organizations and businesses. If a particular service or program is not offered directly through the center, we are happy to give you information as to where you might obtain it.
Legal Aid
An attorney visits the center once a month. Generally, he performs simple legal services such as drawing up a will. There is a 15 minute free consultation which may help determine exactly what is needed, or if you need specialized advice.
Alterations
Alterations are offered through the center by an accomplished seamstress. Appointments are taken for the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 1:00 pm. We offer reasonable rates.
