Mason County Senior Meals

Mason County Senior Meals has been serving meals for over 30 years. The program is helpful to ensure a balanced nutritious diet and provide for those who have difficulty preparing food for themselves. Mason County Senior Meals works hard to ensure quality meals and genuine customer service. Our program helps seniors to stay in their homes and maintain a desirable weight.  Meals are prepared by the Food Service Department at Mason County Central Schools. This program receives funding through:

• Area Agency on Aging
• Customer Donations

Our home delivered meals consist of a hot meal between 10:30am-2PM, which includes a protein, vegetable, fruit, grain, and milk.  We also provide cold second meals, a bagged breakfast and frozen weekend meals to meet the various needs of the senior community. The suggested donation is $3.00 per meal.

Mason County Senior Meals provides meals for three community Senior Centers located in Ludington (T&Th), Scottville (M-F), and Tallman (M-F). This is a hot noon time meal, which includes one hot entrée, grain, milk and a full salad bar. This meal also is a suggested $3.00 donation per meal program. The last Thursday of every month is “Lunch for a Buck”; any qualifying senior can eat at the centers for $1.00.
