• Congregate Nutrition is a service where a meal (typically lunch), offering one-third of the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowance, is provided in a group setting.
  
  
• Home-Delivered Meals is a service that provides a meal (typically lunch) to a home-bound older adult, offering one-third of the Recommended Daily Dietary Allowance.
