Many older adults don't get adequate nutrition, which can impact health conditions, overall quality of life, and general well-being. We provide a variety of services for people 60+ years of age that promotes good health behaviors through nutrition screenings, education, counseling and intervention.  The purpose of the program is to provide nutrition services that assist older individuals to live independently with improved nutrition.

We offer two senior nutrition services by Chippewa County:

Meals on Wheels   |   Senior Dining

Funding

No one will be denied a meal if they are unable to pay. This is a donation-based program. We ask all participants to give a contribution within their means. Programs are funded under the federal Older Americans Act dollars, State funding and participant donations.

Nutrition

Meals comply with the Dietary Guidelines For Americans and MyPlate to provide at least one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for an older person. Food safety measures are in place to keep food safe during transporting and dining.

Closures Due to Weather:

Senior Nutrition Programs may close due to weather. Check the news for a complete list of business closures. However, note that even if "Chippewa County Senior Centers" are closed, that doesn't necessarily mean our Senior Dining programs are closed at their locations. It must specifically list "Chippewa County Senior Dining" and "Chippewa County Meals on Wheels" on the closure list. Typically, we follow the school district closures, but with the introduction of remote learning days, please be diligent about checking the list of program closures on the news. As always, feel free to contact us with questions.
