- Lunch is served at the Senior Center of Jackson Hole Monday – Friday 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm; we are closed on weekends and major holidays.
- We offer warm home-delivered meals to those that are home-bound due to frail health, illness, disabilities, and geographical isolation. The same meal as served in the group setting is delivered to those who are home-bound. Frozen meals are available for weekends and holidays. Our wonderful volunteers deliver meals all around town as far as Melody Ranch and out to the Wilson area.
- Hole Food Rescue started delivering food donations to the Senior Center of Jackson Hole following the alarming stories of seniors physically unable to receive food through existing food assistance channels. In addition, a deeply held aversion to using a food bank prevented many seniors from accepting help.
- We deliver around 200 pounds of vegetables, fruits, dairy, bread, and some dried goods to the Senior Center Monday through Friday.
- Seniors can then select and take home what they like. One client informed us that the no-cost grocery program we set up at the Senior Center has been “a godsend on a fixed income.”
