A registered dietician plans the meals <br />to assure 100% of the U. S. Nutritional Recommended Daily Allowance - consisting of breakfast, a <br />cold lunch, and a frozen dinner. In addition to meals, clients benefit from daily contact with <br />delivery staff as well as the calls and /or visits from case workers who regularly check on their well- <br />being. <br />The Senior Lunch Program would be offered at three sites in Santa Ana (Santa Ana Senior <br />Center, Southwest Senior Center, and Vietnamese Community Center) to help alleviate poor <br />nutrition among the vulnerable elderly population, especially prevalent among those who live alone <br />and /or on a limited income. This nutrition program seeks to enhance the physical and mental well- <br />being of the elderly population by: <br />25G -1 <br />
