Nutritious Meals

Nutritious meals are served to the eligible population in congregate settings, enabling participants to socialize and participate in other activities that may be provided, and delivered to the homes of eligible participants who have difficulty leaving their homes unassisted. Meals must contain at least one-third of the current Recommended Dietary Allowances (see Section VIIE Menus and Menu Planning for detailed nutrient requirements).
