The Citrus County School Board voted unanimously on Monday night, March 18, 2024, to begin deactivation of its police force, but a separate initiative is helping ensure local seniors receive nutritious meals. Two hours a week can make a significant difference in the lives of seniors in Citrus County, Florida.
According to the Citrus County Chronicle, seniors aged 60 and above, or those with disabilities, can receive home-delivered meals through the Elderly Nutrition Program. This program, funded by the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs, aims to provide one meal per day, Monday through Friday, to eligible individuals. The program not only provides nutrition but also helps combat social isolation among seniors.
No specific dates or times were provided for the meal delivery program, but interested individuals can contact the Citrus County Area Agency on Aging at 352-628-6700 or visit their website at citruscountyaging.org for more information. Additional resources, such as the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs website (floridacenterforaging.org), can also provide valuable information on available services.
The Elderly Nutrition Program is a vital service that helps seniors maintain their independence and quality of life. By providing nutritious meals, the program also helps reduce the risk of malnutrition and related health issues among seniors.
