Southeast Texas Senior Resources

 Meals on Wheels / Nutrition & Services for Seniors

Southeast Texas has a wonderful culinary history.

We have mastered barbecue, Cajun, Tex Mex, Southern cuisine, and fine foods.For many seniors, there comes a time when we just don’t want to cook every meal.

For some SETX seniors, the rising cost of groceries makes it hard to keep the fridge as full as we’d like.

In Southeast Texas, Nutrition and Services for Seniors pitches in and provides a lunch time meal Monday-Friday.

The heart of Nutrition & Services for Seniors lies in the home delivered meals program (or Meals on Wheels). Since 1983, this service alone has provided over 2 million hot noon meals to hungry seniors in Jefferson and Hardin counties.To Qualify for Meals:•60 years of age or older•Reside in Jefferson or Hardin Counties•Unable to shop or cook•Have no family or caregiver at noon time to prepare a meal.

Meals on Wheels also provides meals at several community locations, such as Optimist Village in Orange, so seniors can enjoy the company of new and old friends over a meal. Call for a complete list of community locations.
