Welcome to the Village of Wheeling Lunch at the Center Program. For your participation to be enjoyable, we all must understand a few guidelines
Funds (in whole/part) for this publication/program were provided through an award/contract from AgeOptions under the Older Americans Act Title III, Federal Administration on Aging, and through the Illinois Department on Aging.
Each participant must be at least 60 years old with a few exceptions:o The spouse of a participant 60 years or older The caregiver of a participant 60 years or older Person with disabilities regardless of age who resides with someone 60 years or older
The actual cost to provide each mean is $8.00. Each participant is asked to contribute part of the cost of their meal. The suggested donation/contribution is $5.00 per meal. All contributions are voluntary and confidential. No one will be denied service for inability to pay. For our frequent diners, we offer a 5-meal punch card for $20.00. This card has no expiration date and is transferable.
A congregate meal may be purchased for a homebound spouse or the weekend as long as it doesn't deprive another older person of a meal. These meals should be ordered ahead of time, preferably when making reservations for your meal. These meals cost $8.00 each.
To assist in the planning of meal preparation, all participants must reserve their spot for dining at least 48 hours ahead of when they plan to attend, preferably 1 week in advance.
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST SIGN IN AT THE REGISTRATION TABLE BEFORE DINING.
Demographic information will be collected initially at registration to better serve participants and to provide a vehicle to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. We ask for your cooperation.
