The Department of Senior Affairs senior meal program promotes good health, encourages socialization, prevents malnutrition, and provides nutrition education. Lunch menus reflect nutrition guidance for overall health and well-being, and include New Mexico local fruits, vegetables, beans, chile, and meat. Senior Affairs offers low-cost breakfast and free/donation-based senior lunch service to adults age 60+ or low-cost lunch to adults 50+ at senior and multigenerational centers Monday - Friday between 11:30A - 1:00P. Call your center for more information or to reserve your lunch 24 hours in advance.
Senior Affairs also offers home-delivered meal service to homebound seniors who have physical, emotional or other limitations that do not allow them to leave their homes on their own. If you, or someone you know, fits this description, call the Senior Information & Assistance Hotline at 505-764- 6400.
