Senior Nutrition Program
Seniors ages 60+ should call (925) 973-3250 by noon on the previous business day to request lunch for the following day. A seven-day meal pack will be delivered on Tuesdays only, after 12pm.
During the "shelter at home" order, meal deliveries will be made by Meals on Wheels, or by City staff, who will be wearing a City staff shirt and have a City ID badge.
To qualify for lunches, residents will need to fill out a NAPIS form certifying they are over 60.
Interested in volunteering to help?
Click here to sign up as a City Lights volunteer, and select the “Sign Up” button next to the COVID-19 Community Response program. As needs within our community are identified, volunteers will be notified of opportunities to help.
One opportunity to help would be to donate new and unopened goods for care packages that can be distributed to Seniors who cannot leave their homes at this time. Useful items may include toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, canned goods, pasta, etc—as requests come in through the Senior Hotline. Donations will be accepted at the Alcosta Senior and Community Center, Monday–Friday, 11 a.m.–2 p.m., beginning Wednesday, March 18.
We also encourage those who are able, to reach out to Seniors in your own neighborhoods. A simple way to help would be to share the number of the Senior Hotline (925-973-3250) with them so they can request meals by noon on the previous business day.
