Nutrition Program

We provide tasty and nutritious meals for people over 60 years old and to some eligible younger people who are disabled. The Nutrition Program serves hot meals at meal sites on Whidbey Island and Camano Islands, delivers hot and frozen meals to home-bound seniors, and offers nutritional counseling / assistance when needed.
