**Dare County Center NUTRITION PROGRAM
The nutrition program's purpose is to promote, maintain, and improve the health and well-being of adults 60 years old and older through the provision of a nutritionally balanced meal five days per week served in a congregate setting or delivered to the home. Meals are served at the Dare County Center Monday-Friday, except holidays. There is no charge for meals to clients, but we accept donations as the meals cost over $5.00 each and are paid for by Dare County and the Albemarle Commission. This also allows us to serve more people. Remember to sign up 48 hours in advance or if you are on the list and if you can't make it please cancel 48 hours in advance.
