Congregate Dining

A support service that provides meals and social activities to seniors. This program is designed to improve nutrient intake and maintain/ enhance social functioning while assisting seniors to manage good health and independent living practices.

The cost of the meal is $6.50 (may be subject to change).

People Served: Senior citizens, age 65 and over. Those participating in the program must be able to function independently. If a client is not able to function independently, consideration will be given to allowing a family member or friend to accompany them to the meal service.

We are looking for volunteers to assist in setting up the dining room, accepting payments from participants, assisting in serving the plated meals (all cooking is done by a cook), and assisting with clean up. The whole process takes approximately 4-5 hours one day a week every two weeks.

This program depends on the assistance of volunteers in order to be delivered in our community. If you can volunteer, please contact Chapleau Health Services, at 705-864-3061 or chapleauhr@sschs.ca and complete our volunteer orientation.
