What people are saying about group dining

Congregate Nutrition 1

The meals help add variety to our diets. They also reduce the mental strain of thinking what to prepare. They also are quick and easy when we are on the run. We are very thankful and grateful to be able to partake of the meals this program affords. I think these meals are superior to the frozen type purchased at the supermarkets. Thank you very much.
