Program Brochure
The Passaic County Division of Nutrition Services is a federally funded agency, which operates under the auspices of the Passaic County Department of Senior Services, Disability and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Passaic County Board of County Commissioners. The mission of Nutrition Services is to provide nutritious meals and other supportive services to assist both congregate and home-delivered recipients in maintaining and/or improving their health status and independence.
Our agency operates seven senior nutrition centers (congregate meals), which provide one hot meal Monday through Friday in a friendly environment for older adults that are conducive to socialization. Each of our senior nutrition centers conducts various activities such as parties, trips, lectures, etc. that meet the interest of the participants. Participants must be sixty years of age or older, or have a spouse that is at least sixty years old.
