Providing Meals to Residents 60 & Older

Union County’s Senior Nutrition Program (UCSN) provides meals to individuals 60 and over throughout Union County. We do more than provide a nutritious meal, though! We also provide support, education and personal interaction that promotes nutritional, physical and social well-being.

We believe our services help sustain health, promote independence and improve the quality of life of those who participate.

There is no cost to participate in any of our nutrition programs and there are no income guidelines. UCSN is funded with a combination of federal, state and county dollars, and voluntary contributions from participants. Participants are under no obligation to contribute; it is entirely voluntary. 

To apply, complete the online referral form.

  • The county picks me up at my house and drives me right to the site at no charge which is awesome! What I enjoy the most while I'm there is the fellowship amongst all of us seniors. Everyone is so friendly and kind and has such wonderful stories to share with each other, it's just such a very special place for us to gather and enjoy each other's company for a few hours along with eating a hot wholesome meal.
