Four communities cook and serve on-site. The local senior citizens bus delivers the prepared food and dishes to the community room of a senior housing apartment. The meals are then served. After dinner the dirty dishes, silverware, and insulated food containers are boxed up and returned to the nursing home kitchen for washing and storage until the next day. At Harrold, the contract is with a local cafe for meals.
Participants eat at the cafe each day.
Three of the nutrition sites also have senior vans to provide transportation for local senior citizens. These vans are used for shopping, medical appointments, and trips to the nutrition center. Four of the nutrition programs are in senior centers. Participants are able to take advantage of services such as blood pressure checks, foot care, and education and exercise programs. Nutrition programs have been started at Kadoka, Philip, Murdo, Harrold, Wanblee, and Onida.
